How about fixing something like THIS to the bottom of the feeder ? Then hang it from the high branch with wire.
Could make a cone out of wire - maybe coat hangers - like a garden rake - should give them nothing to cling onto.
Thx. Will get one and give it a try. I did have a lash up using brown plastic garden saucers a couple of years back and it did deter them. But they looked naff and soon got split taking them on and off to refill. This design would be better.
The main problem I guess is the siting of the feeders. We have a half dead Prunus and I use it’s dead branches to hang the feeders and take photos of birds on the branches rather than on the ugly feeders.
I may have to reposition them because the squirrels can jump from adjacent branches and bypass the domes.
We shall see.
