Title says it all. I have 3 half baskets containing pansies and the
petals are being eaten. In previous years I have used violas and noticed
a little damage but this year about 10% of the flowers are affected. The
baskets are mountedon brick walls and are in full sun for the morning
(east facing). I am in Fareham on the south coast

Possible birds? especially sparrows.

I get this problem and in my case it is definitely not birds as they are
nibbled. I am convinced we are in insect territory. Or maybe ants.
