I also thought birds lifted them, last year I netted the onions, and

Yes it does but it doesn't scatter them far and wide. I've never
caught anything redhanded, I was always doubtful about birds because
our cages keeep out all but the small birds so I've been tending to
think in terms of voles -perhaps young males - it's spring after
all;~))
On the other hand Brian's hypothesis is quite persuasive - I'll try
and watch more closely next year.
