Have you ever seen squirrels pumping iron in your garden?

Photographer Max Ellis managed to snap these critters mid-workout in the garden of his Teddington home, using treats and weights suspended with Spiderwire high-tensile fishing line.
But Mr Ellis said the squirrels might soon be losing their home in the trees near Fulwell Station, as they are chopped back.
He said: "They are about to have that tree cut down which is really sad.
"It seems a shame that they have to do all the trees at once as all the wildlife will have nowhere to go and all the birds and squirrels are clinging into the one tree at the moment."
