Something eating this shrub?

Me again (apologies I'm a complete novice and I've just started to get into gardening).
We have this shrub in our front garden and I've recently discovered something is having an absolute feast on it.
Is anyone able to tell me what is eating it and how to stop it?
Sorry I don't know the name of the shrub.
Many Thanks

It looks like a viburnum of some description. Not much help I am afraid!
It's the shrub I expected to see when I read the title.
It's Viburnum tinus and viburnum beetle
I think they've been and gone by now

Brilliant - thank you!
It also explains the awful smell I can smell when weeding in that area!
