We have a park full of trees which is home to a number possums at our back fence. They've recently become more adventurous and slowly moved up our 80m long block (which is also full of trees/shrubs).

Our dog (Chloe) enjoys being in the yard with me while observing or imaging and keeps the critters away, but without her they move closer, breaking twigs and growling in the bushes - they make very creepy and unsettling noises. I'm expecting to find one on the telescope some night.

The possums do provide endless entertainment for Chloe at night; she mostly keeps them at the bottom of the block where they growl and break branches as she patrols the ground below the trees.
