Went to have a look at my Runner beans this morning and around 20 ft of
them have been wiped out.
What I assume to be a squirrel has cropped them from around 6 inches to
around 15 inches, also chewed the netting as well.
Also a few dwarf peas I'd sown have also been cleared almost to the ground.
As there's electric netting around the patch I doubt it's rabbits.

In this garden, I would have immediately thought it was the Roe deer
which are frequently around. Might it be deer there?
