Our Mark III feeders are designed to ensure that small birds have exclusive access to some of the bird seed while plenty is still available for the larger birds - though we do try to exclude the local pheasants which, if given half a chance, will eat everything.
It was with some surprise therefore when, on going out to fill the feeders this morning, I discovered that the Mark IIIs have a design fault: the local field mouse had managed to find a way of climbing the pole and inserting himself in the feeder.
