They seem to like broccoli! Mine at least.

I was wondering if I made a thin ply silhouette of a hawk and dangled it
over the veg. area would it do any good.

As for suggestions involving shotguns etc., not helpful, not original.

We treated ourselves to a Fruit Cage (6m x 6m) and use that for our
brassicas. We use a 4 year rotation and move it around the plot each year,
takes the two of us a day to move.
The cage being tall I can simple enter and garden without getting caught up
in netting, makes life much easier.
