What is eating my Runner beans?

Hello all,

 

 Please can you help. Something is eating my runner beans and doing a very good job of it. What happens is the beans flower fine, then when the beans are about an inch long - wacko vanished, chewed off. The rest of the plan is basically fine.

 

I get none - the creature getsc all

 

Any ideas or solutions?

    Thank you but, the damage is  about six feet up mostly - so mountaineering slugs only. Maybe pigeons maybe mice? 

     

     These are fully grown plants

  • I've had this problem in the past and always put it down to birds pecking them off, mistaking them for green caterpillars.
