Resilient squirrel hangs on to revolving bird feeder for dear life
- 4 years ago
This was the moment a squirrel was spotted in a UK garden hanging on to a bird feeder as it spun around rapidly.
Alex Dunigan of Sheffield, South Yorkshire captured the footage on February 19.
He said: "We were round at my parents' house having a quick catchup and a brew when just as I sat down I saw the squirrel coming down from the top of the feeder.
"As soon as he latched on to the round bar he was off!
"He hung on for AGES, a good minute keeping us all very entertained.
"Once he admitted defeat and flew off to the ground he shot off running, zigzagging left and right up the top of the garden where he had to pause and recalibrate.
"We were all having a good laugh but also amazed at how long he stayed on for!"
