Visitors to my bird feeder

This cold spell has a lot of people feeding the birds, and other creatures that they might not suspect are visiting their feeders .
Last December my plastic feeders were wrecked one evening when I returned home ,badly chewed  up I replaced them with steel ones that lasted,then I saw the culprits one morning,3 red squirrels,eating the peanuts I had put out the previous night for the birds.
They usually visited at dawn and before dusk,peanuts being favoured over seed although seeds were eaten too.
On another night I saw a small mouse which was identifyed as being a Woodmouse ,they live and forage mainly in the trees eating berries and small insects,I found this one rather cute and camera friendly.
