Lots of birds in our small garden - we don't feed them, just make sure there's water. Id love to see dragonflies there .....

If you got room a small water feature like an old butler sink, planted could be enough, I've got a very small pond and I get Dragon and Damsel flies visit every year. I live bang in the centre of a city and they always seem to find their way, I would say if you got time and space give it a go.

We do have a small water feature but alas never seen dragon or damsel flies there.
Of course it could be that the birds are inviting them in for lunch ...

Racoon? I sometimes wish we had some slightly more interesting wildlife in the UK, like a more variety of common lizards and some racoons invading cities. We got foxes though.

No you don't. Trust me, you really don't.

The Trash Panda is one of the most destructive pests we have.

And the size of their teeth and claws doesn't inspire many warm fuzzy feelings either! An acquaintance had one as a 'pet', ye gods!

The Trash Panda is one of the most destructive pests we have.

Not only that, but here in Texas, they're also known as the second mammal most likely to carry the rabies virus, after bats.  They're extremely destructive if they manage to get into an attic.  Literally they'll disassemble the roof bit by bit.

Yesterday I saw a pair of foxes at the edge of the parking lot behind my business. I think they might have a den back there. I'll try to get photos if I see them again.

A 300 yard stretch of seafront road and I counted 10 foxes.
Managed to snap some poor photos this morning, but shall endeavour to do better and a Rook.

Good to see the fox was looking both ways before crossing the road, except that in my part of the world, foxes are an introduced invader that need to be eliminated (says he who has a Starfox and fox-related cosplay costume).
