I'd guess it was a cat. Hedgehogs are usually out at night, so it wouldn't be that.

If the poo is small dog sized I’d say a fox.

Hedgies are very unlikely although they will sometimes scavenge abandon carrion if there’s not something better. They are not bird catchers.

Not really a gardening question but
I found a bird almost completely eaten except for the feathers in my garden the other day,
I have no idea what could have done this.
In the 11 years we have lived in our home I have only seen a cat once walking on the fence top so don't think it is a cat.
Also I found poo on the lawn some days before this find. It was quite small in size what could this be.

Some years ago I spotted hedgehogs in the garden but I haven't seen them since, no idea how they would get in. We have gates both sides and gravel boards below the fencing.
Could a hedgehog catch a bird?

Anyone have any ideas.
