Badger Dung Pit

Badger dung pit, Meles meles, on Hayes Common.  28 September 2011.

I recently posted a photo of fox scat, and here is the badger equivalent. Badgers make communal dung pits to mark the edges of their territory, and I saw this one while walking on Hayes Common.

These badgers have been eating something, maybe cherries, that have round stones. The dark colour suggests that they might also have been snacking on blackberries.
