Star Witness: Rodent gets really ratty in hunt for bird food
Here's a pesky garden creature with real attitude.
Published
Shropshire Star reader Stewart Vaughan captured the hungry rat on camera as it tried to steal food left out for the birds.
Stewart, from Donnington, Telford, said: "This chap kept getting the bird feed, so I put some grease on the pole.
"He put his paw on the pole, then he looked straight at me and that's the stance he was in!"
Keen camera man Stewart sent his photo to the Animal Magic gallery at Star Witness, our showcase of readers' photos.
