Went to a friend's house recently, his normally immaculate lawn has problems. I wonder if you can help ? He explained the problem below. Have shown a couple of photos
The problem has only really occurred in the last few months of this year. The lawn has always been well maintained and fed. The soil is typical local being rich but clay based. The lawn is quite well drained due to the natural slope.Fencing and a hedge should keep out dogs, but we
have had the odd fox in the garden in the past.(cats prefer soil as a toilet) Digging down into the patch does not reveal anyinsect damage or obvious fungus.

Agree with Cammomile and keeping a fox, or foxes, out of his garden isn't going to be easy...

If its fox urine causing this, your friend should notice a strong smell, not pleasant, around the garden. Otherwise, need better photograph - these are blurry under magnification

Bamboo, am I sending photos wrongly ? I take a photo of a picture that's been sent to me to get it in "photo library", then send that.
Would it be better if I went and took the photo myself, then send it. I can easily do that.

Hank it would definitely be better if you net at took photos yourself...

If the photo you get originally has a high resolution, or high pixel count, then it'd be okay, unless your photo library reduces the resolution in order to store them. Otherwise, probably best to take a good clear photo yourself. Once you've uploaded a photo to this site, have a look at it yourself, try expanding or magnifying it, see if its clear - a good one should enable viewing a single blade of grass in clear focus easily possible.

Got it guys, may go to my mate's place one day in the week and take a photo, then send that.

I would say it's fox pee, you only have to see what damage dog bitches do to the lawn, it's exactly the same.
