Doctor Who foe? No, just a squirrel trying to get a nut

You could say Emma Young is nuts about Doctor Who.

So much so, the craft maker and mother of two from Hampshire England made a squirrel feeder out of the head of a Cyberman, a villain on the popular British Sci-Fi television show.

The Cyberman head used to be a shower radio and Young gutted it, loaded it with peanut butter and nuts and suspended it from a tree branch in her garden.

Creatures passing through the Young yard in search of food are happy to score a meal as they unknowingly don the mask.

Photographer Chris Balcombe captured an attacking Cybersquirrel and the photos appeared in British newspapers on Dec. 28. He looks less menacing in Balcombe’s video, which is appropriately scored with music that matches the dance-like gyrations of the squirrel trying to dig out the peanuts.
