SQUIRREL NUT THEFT; CAMERA CATCHES CULPRIT

This is is for the 6 word story challenge. This is the feeder I put up to keep the Squirrels off the bird feeders, and a lot of the time it is very effective. I had noticed the birds trying to get the nuts out of it without much success, so I started lifting the perspex at the front up and putting a twig under it so the birds could get the nuts from the bottom. Something, I presume the Squirrel, keeps dragging the twig back out, I keep putting a twig back, some with knots on, and even ones with a side shoot on to prevent them being removed. No they keep disappearing. The Squirrel must be trying to prevent the birds stealing his nuts. However this Blue Tit must have been watching Mr.Squirrel lifting the lid and taking the nuts out. Caught on camera.
Such ingenuity!
