Broccoli happily growing for the last few weeks, looked out yesterday (in raised bed) and most of the leaves hace been munched! Any idea what it is , no sgn of anything on or around, and what to do? I do not use any inorganic stuff. Baffled!

Pigeons?
Pigeons!
I've got my broccoli surrounded by sparkly seaside windmills and bunches of kitchen foil dangling from bamboo canes - it's working so far!

Me thinks I need to do a stake out and find out whats happening-its me or them (for the broccoli!).
This is what they look like and I am not sure it is pigeons! Thought it was too cold for slugs caterpillars etc Any ideas experts?
I can see what looks like a couple of dropped pieces of broccoli leaf in the top left hand quarter of your photo. Makes me think the pigeons flew off in a hurry and left them behind.
Pigeons, without a doubt.
Definitely pigeons

So it's unanimous?
Unanimous pigeons - they're doing it together!

You need to net them tightly or pigeons will have a feast,
