I think I can now rule out mice. This morning all the
new germinations were cut off. Examined very carefully
and no signs of digging or of the seed being dug up.

Still no slug slime around the slug pellets.

So I am coming to think that it is something that
lives in the soil that is cutting my pea shoots;
undersoil slugs have been suggested.


How about pigeons? (Not living in the soil...) They are very partial to
fresh shoots - although I'd expect them to eat them rather than leave
them.
