Poop ID please ( if it is poop )

Morning everyone....I keep finding these small black presents on my lawn, at first I thought some of them were a kind of slime mould due to it looking very wet and spread out, but there are some ( like in the pictures ) that look more like poop, so I was wondering what animal ( if it is ) would be dropping them.

could be hedgehog
Thanks Hosta...looking at the 3rd image I thought there maybe some beetle wing casings, but wasn't sure, I'll dry one out and open it up to see what's inside.
Looks like hedgehog poo to me too.
Hi Lb... I hope it is, would love to have them in the garden on a regular basis.
It looks like my hedgehog's poo and they are insectivorous so the beetle wing cases make sense.
What did you just say?
Hedgehog for the exact reasons LB stated
Thanks everyone...looks like I have Gnomes visiting the garden

Tonight I saw the owner of the poop...and it is a very round Hoggie
I'm so pleased to have one in the garden, now I just have to persuade it to hang around.
In the morning I'll be buying 2 bowls for food and water, and some crunchy cat biscuits to mix with some sunflower hearts and maybe a few meal worms.
