  I'm guessing slugs. Slugs love sunflowers, they destroyed mine last year. They've been trying to get to the good growth at the top. Slug pellets are the only thing that stopped my problems, however I understand these aren't always pet friendly. You can get tape you put around the stem of the plant to stop slugs/snails climbing up the plant to get to the growth.

  Definitely slugs.........but I find they never make it to the top leaves or the flowers

  Slugs, go out with a torch at night and pick them off in to salt. Particularly on damp nights
