This rare red squirrel found an ingenious way to ensure it is well fed this winter after climbing through an office window looking for lunch.

National Trust staff on Brownsea Island got a shock when the rodent jumped on to a desk in their office in Poole Harbour, Dorset.

The island is one of just a handful of places red squirrels can be found in Britain due to dwindling numbers caused by the population growth of American grey squirrels.

Administrator Gill Birch managed to capture the moment the bold squirrel - thought to be a juvenile - scampered about the room she shares with colleague Val Whitely.
