Could be any number of things. Elm leaf beetles are fond of filberts as are
root weevils and a number of other chewing insects. You can try insecticidal
soap, but the damage is merely cosmetic and I'd be tempted to ignore it
unless the shrub is at risk of defoliation.

could also be Japanese beetles, Pam.....I know that they laced my Diane
witch hazel totally, and then when I checked the trees in the woods room, my
Harry Lauder's was laced up too......Voracious little buggers. Luckily your
right, the leaves will regrow before fall sets in.
