Step 11Video of a Squirrel FAIL!

I’ve been stalking my feeder for a few days trying to get a video of a squirrel FAIL raid attempt. This is the best video I have so far. Those with keen eyes will note that I’ve extended the length of the bolt to add extra protection:

Perhaps he has learnt that too much rocking action causes the baffle to rotate, so sadly, I did not manage to capture too much of the rotation action of the baffle in this video.

Those with keen eyes will note that I’ve extended the length of the bolt to add extra protection, i.e. to stop any “reach around” attempts by the squirrel.
