Racoons raiding the bins at Botanical Garden

Raccoons up close

Walking in Norfolk Botanical Gardens the other day we came to the picnic site under the pines down by the lake.  As we walked towards the covered area I saw a ringed tail disapear into the bin.  Even closer we saw another masked bandit sneaking up the post of the shelter and hidding in the roof.



Not many walking round today as it was a showery day, so the wildlife was closer in than usual.  Below is a lovely white egrit we saw as we crossed one of the bridges.


For the first time this year we also saw dragon flies.  I am sure they have been out sooner, we have just not noticed them.  Below is a picture of one taken by the veg plot shed.
