Deceased cat on hard shoulder, 5th February

53.266054 -2.805079

The appears to be a deceased cat on the hard shoulder just after the slip road for Chester services heading towards Runcon. Its white/grey/black in colour but I'm pretty sure it isn't a badger from the shape and size of it. Apologies if it does turn out to be.
