Mohonia

Something is eating the leaves of my Mohonia from about a third of the way up the stem. I have circled it with plastic mesh but noticed some more have been eaten in the last week

Do you mean Mahonia? These have very tough leaves which have few pests so I would be surprised that anything is eating them. The deer which visit our garden (roe and muntjac) will try most things but they have never attacked the Mahonia. If you could post a photo or two it would help the experts here make a diagnosis.
Yes it is a Mohonia. Our garden is secluded but not open to the countryside although live in a small village and do have a pheasant that visits quite regularly.. I have attached two images.
