Bird droppings? The neighbours car looked like this today, side window completely covered in it. Maybe seagulls? They can leave quite a mess

Hmm,
if it was right up against the hedge it wouldnt be a bad call, its a good foot away from the hedge though
but strangely all 4 patches are roughly the same distance away from the hedge

now, if it was later in the summer i guess it could be baby swallows as they are quite the fan of sticking their arse out of the nest to do their business, but while its not a bad suggestion im struggling to see how it could be birds

ill stick my head in the hedge there tomorrow to see if i can see any birds nests
