Hungry squirrel caught in bird feeder

As anyone with a bird feeder knows, sneaky squirrels often try and steal an easy meal from our feathered friends, and even supposedly ’squirrel proof’ feeders can be foiled by the intelligent nut-addict. This squirrel, however, seemed not to have fully thought through his heist as he has become stuck in the metal bars trying to escape! Simon was busy on another rescue, so Wildlife Aid veteran Ron and volunteer Helen raced to the scene. Squirrels can be very feisty and both knew they had to ask fast. Luck
