Barry Mortin shot hilarious video (scroll down below) from his bedroom balcony in Bridgenorth of a regular visitor—the Raccoon Vandal—they get...

"She was after bird food," Mortin tells PTBOCanada. "She had been coming at night but I started bringing the feeder in after dark. She then started coming in the afternoon and gorging herself. Sometimes she would bring a friend—likely a brother or sister."

She's cute enough to let her get away with the vandalism, Mortin notes. See for yourself...
