Lloyd then called the police as he had “no idea what it could belong to. (It looked) like something that had been disembowelled and I was shocked something like that could be on the pavement.

“I was worried what it might be, as it was too large for the inside of a fox, dog etc. But we do have deer around here. Those kidneys are as long as my hand.

“I’m glad it’s not human, but it’s still a puzzle as to what it belonged to.”
