Just as the Diary was congratulating himself on the development of a real cutting-edge piece of bird-feeding technology, which combined easy food access, keeping the grain dry, and preventing the birds from climbing in and pooping over their food, a machine that was so good it featured in the
Oban Times, the whole project has been ruined by.... a mouse. This wood mouse has discovered that he's perfectly safe from the prying eyes of the local buzzards if he hides in the feeder, which he can also use to shelter from the rain and as an indoor toilet.
The dangers for him are getting in and out, which he does....
....at amazingly high speed.
Ah well, back to the drawing board.
Your wee mouse may be a menace, but he's adorable! :)
