We have ten clumps of wild primrose in our wildflower beds. This evening
I noticed that every clump had been 'attacked' and dozens and dozens of
flower heads
neatly removed at the joint between stem and the base of the flower. The
flowers remain on or near to the clumps. Two clumps have had every flower
removed. There is no sign of damage to the petals or any indication of
other injury to the stem. I assume that it is probably a bird due to the
precision of the 'cut' at the base of the flower head. I have seen the
usual wood pigeons, blackbirds, dunnocks and finches around the beds today
but no untoward activity. The adjacent planting of cowslips is untouched.

Grateful for any thoughts.
