My currants have been snaffled up, all of them!! It was only about 20-30, but they were gradually getting big and fat! I think I mentioned that the last time I tasted them, they were a bit inedible, but guess others have a different palette.
I think we are probably looking at a wood pigeon as number one suspect! I've seen them waddling around my own plot and others...big bird, big appetite, with a long enough reach with it's beak to get at the whole crop -and currantly (ha ha) the blackcurrant bush is only stumpy, as it is just year one!!
If I get more of a crop next year, I'll make sure to cover it up with bird proof netting, or an electric fence (hmmm, wind or solar powered?), or a mini-minefield?
Never mind, is all part of nature - I'm sure I'll lose more of my plots generous bounty to other critters.
