He said: “It was really funny to watch. It took him a few minutes to get out of the bin, so I even had time to grab my camera.

“I was amazed at the lengths he went to.” Said Roy, 67, who lives in Wigan Gtr Manchester and captured the scene yesterday.

Roy has now put a tin lid on his bird seed to tub to prevent any further squirrel antics.

“I couldn’t believe the size of the hole.” He added.
