Very many thanks Patrick. Twelve pheasants were at the edge of the arable field
where I collected the droppings this morning!

droppings as illustrated in the Hamlyn Guide to Animal Tracks, Trails & Signs.
The text says “Pheasant droppings have a well-developed white cap of urine at
one end, are about 2cm long and 0.4- 0.5cm in diameter.” Patrick Roper From:

Subject: [Adastra] Small mammal droppings Adastrans,
Can any of you identify the distinctive small mammal droppings please? As you
can see I now have them in moist chamber cultivation hoping for fimicolous
fungi to appear.
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
