I love boards.

1 badger
2 fox

I've seen the first type before, never seen the other type.

It's always a good idea to put a coin or something beside droppings/prints etc for a size comparison.

We're both droppings in the same place?

I'll put my bets on Pine Marten with the second picture. First looks like badger.

Black and tapered, fox I reckon.

If it's urban they can be not the norm you'd expect from bin raiding.

I agree with your opinion the second "sample" is from a fox who likes his blackberries:D

I'd go
1 Badger
2 Fox

Badger tends to be 'sploggy' piles (especially if the diet is high in invertabres such as worms and slugs), but usually in a 'latrine'- a dug out hole average size of a large coffee cup.
Fox scat is usually turd like with twisty ends, sometimes containing hair etc depending on diet. Not unusual to see seeds etc in there as well.
