They are perhaps a 5mm in diameter and may be 2.5 to 4 cm long. They are black. A French friend suggests sanglier, but surely too small for these beasts. Also ground not disturbed and last year's apples left alone. I suspect a oiseau, but would need to be large. We have a good few ragondins here and farmers trap them. However, our Jack Russell doesn't show any interest, which is why is why I suspect a bird.

i would agree sounds like hedgehog droppings they tend to come out at night well they do where we are anyway
