What's eating these plants?
Hello
Something is eating various plants in the garden, or rather more than one something. Below are pics of two deutzias that are about a metre apart either side of some steps, and something is eating the leaves.
Then there is my patio pear tree, some 80 metres away from the deutzias, but seemingly being eaten in a similar fashion. I can't see any sign of anything on either plant, apart from nibbled leaves.
Finally we have my gooseberry bush which has had some stems nibbled right through. The blackcurrant is similarly afflicted. I think it could be a pesky rabbit, though in spite of being surrounded by fields I've only ever seen one rabbit anywhere in a good mile radius. That happened to be recently, but it wasn't in the garden, which of course isn't to say it hadn't already visited...
All thoughts and remedies welcome as ever, thanks

No longer newish but can't think of a new name so will remain forever newish.
