My early redcurrant was totally stripped, I think by pigeons. The later one
is just ripening and so far is ok, but I've netted it now, just in case.

Anyone else seen the problem, and got any ideas as to the cause?

I did have a lot of fruit drop during the dry spell, but I think that was
mostly blackcurrants
