What’s eating my ivy.

  It’s only being eaten at ground level up to a height of about 300mm. The leaves are being eaten from the edges. Although I live in a town the garden is secluded.

  Hello @yvonnecunnane and welcome to the forum
  
  That looks like the nibbling of some very hungry adult vine weevils

  Thank you. I think you’re right I’ve had vine weevils before.

  Could it be wood pigeons? That looks like the way they nibble at our ivy

  It certainly could be. I’m plagued by pigeons. Thank you.

  If only the woodies would develop a taste for weevils 🛌 💭 😊
