If you were feeling full after your Christmas dinner than spare a thought for this chubby squirrel.

Taken by photographer Tony Cooper, 64, the grey squirrel is a regular at a park in Lincoln where he is regularly fed by passersby.

Tony said that the park is a frequent haunt for hungry squirrels as they're guaranteed plenty of treats, with visitors feeding them snacks.

Photos of the chunky rodents were taken by photographer Tony Cooper, 64, who says he regularly sees the squirrel in the park

In fact, he says that the chubby squirrel is one of several similar-sized creatures that can be found in the park.

He said: 'When I saw it on the picnic table looking the way it did I just had to get a photo of it.

'All the feedback on the photo so far has been on the size of the squirrel. People have told me they've never seen a squirrel quite as big before.

'Squirrels of this size are quite common sight at this park. They get so well fed by the public.

'As I was taking the photo I kept saying to myself ''don't move, don't move, please don't move'' but the squirrel had no intentions of moving it was a right little poser, or rather big poser.'
