Animal magic

Today's new sightings:

- the egret in the garden
- two black squirrels in the huge oak tree near the churches
- and a Giant Possum.

Seriously. Giant. I think he was as big as a dog. At least as big as our cat. And she is one big cat.

The possum was in the woods, just below the pond. He froze and stared when I caught him in the beam from the torch (flashlight). Fury was really excited. Now she's back inside, gazing out of the door, and softly sighing because she wants to go out and play some more.

I wonder if possums make burrows? That might explain some of the holes...
