No we definitely don't have racoons, I get mostly birds of many varieties in my garden. I do see a blue tongued lizard every now and then.

When I turned on the deck light at night, I would see perhaps eight pairs of reflective eyes, distracted from their task of trying to get into the garbage cans (they were often successful). When I moved to another wooded area, however, raccoons were much fewer, although there was a tremendous amount of small wildlife on the property.<br />--Jim Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-55568575659694477312020-08-04T04:34:20.538-04:002020-08-04T04:34:20.538-04:00Je hebt zo wel een goede foto kunnen maken van het...Je hebt zo wel een goede foto kunnen maken van het dier.
