ARE our eyes deceiving us, or is this cheeky squirrel giving a ‘thumbs up’ sign?
The ravenous rodent was caught quaffing bird feed in Breightmet by reader, Andy Entwistle.

“I always take care of my feathered friends by putting out various feeders for them and obviously, the squirrels have cottoned on to this,” said the 41-year-old,
“While the birds are feeding, I often grab my camera and go out to see what breeds have come to the table.
