There's a thought. Never seen any in my garden though (it does back onto farmland). Surely I'd be suffering other plant losses if it was deer, rather than just flower heads?
Roe deer did that in my garden in France, until OH fenced the main flower bit. Muntjac did it to our garden in Norfolk until we found the hole in the fence behind the summerhouse. I surprised it at dusk and wondered how it escaped when the gate was shut and the garden is fenced.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I once watched a fieldmouse cutting down my white astrantia. It worked away for about an hour and I was so fascinated I just left it to it. It snipped them off at the base like it was felling timber then cut off the flower heads from the stalks and carried them away. It would return shortly for another.
