I agree. If it had come from a plane there is no way that these items would look like this or be placed so close together. Somebody literally chucked chit onto your property. What a nasty thing to do but some people are crude.

I had forgotten about Foxes antics…living in here now it is so different, I have never seen a Fox or a Badger…certainly have seen there presence though…

Bexhill home, we had them next door in the farmland, day and night.
They were always on the look out, as our chickens and ducks where allowed to roam freely .So we were always in the Garden to guard over them…

BIB I can just visualise that … :grinning:

I remember watching BBC’s “Foxwatch” in 1979 - AFAIK, the first live coverage of urban foxes - and I was amazed to see that the foxes pillaging city centre waste-bins around midnight for discarded fish’n’chips, burgers, pizzas, etc. … :open_mouth:

@Omah didn’t see that one. It was the fact that they were in no rush to rip the bags apart and took their time to carry it to a seemingly safer place that struck me.

The McD restaurant is about 3-400 yards away, in case that has any bearing on the matter.

@Omah I have just had to telephone the farmer again , the dead sheep I reported yesterday is still there and has been feasted on Foxes and birds, not a pretty sight before breakfast… :anguished:

Bratti, Honestly, no one threw them over, it would be impossible! Look at the height of the trees. They’d have to be giants and be able to throw so far.

That’s how I visualised it … :+1: Perhaps, when they got to the tree and opened the bag, they did “swapsies” … :laughing:

Not far for a fox … :fox_face:

Or, maybe @Artangel has been the victim of a drone attack!!!

Perhaps someone was testing a ballista:

I see that no-one has come up with the correct explanation so far, so the honour falls to me.
Question: Have you at any time noticed any caravans, pulled by 4WDs, in your field? They may, of course, have moved on by now, though normally they tend to hang around for quite a long time.

Now that IS likely … :grin:

Indeed … having lived in the Welsh countryside in the 1970’s, I was familiar with the effects of attacks on sheep (not human attacks, I hasten to add) … :scream: That’s why I was astounded at the antics of urban foxes … :astonished:

Ok they didn’t chuck them. They trespassed onto your property and left them there then.
I considered a drone too but they are very expensive. Do you know any realtors ?

Bratti, No one has been in here.

Do you know any realtors? Maybe someone asked you out and you declined? Just a thought.
They use drones

There are drones, and their are drones. Not all are particularly expensive, and it might have been someone getting back at Art, after she’d fooled them into believing she was a TV personality for 3 years, and also made them think she had a spitfire in her back garden.

Don’t worry @Bratti . It’s simply an in-joke between myself and Art. She’ll get it.

Completely bemused by your general statement, in all honesty though. How does a little poke of fun at a friend, incidentally largely at my own expense and failings, make one deduce I’m a mysogenist?

There have been some great replies and l loved, the drone theory, Omah’s missile catapult and other suggestions but it still hasn’t solved the mystery of how the two abandoned nappies and a paper serviette got into my garden?
I am positive, no human was involved but why were there two nappies? Wouldn’t a Fox only be able to carry one nappy at a time? Or was there a gang of them?

Why a white serviette? Is this part of a Fox’s Etiquette?

This is a fun thread, solving a mystery. From all the posts so far, I think foxes is the most likely solution. My first thought is people trespassing but if Artangel says it’s not possible, then my next guess is foxes or some other wild animal.

Drone is a fun guess but unlikely. Planes seems doubtful. There would be more damage to the items. Crows sounded like a good guess, but they would have to be some huge crows.
