A few days away with grandchildren ended with a mess in the
garden.

Courgettes have been eaten right into the middle, obviously
with some clear teeth marks - but what? Hedgehog? mouse/rat?
vole?

Spinach (beet) leaves have also been eaten down to the central
spine, but the chard, next to it is untouched. I suspect birds,
possibly sparrows, of which we have hordes around at the moment
(& probably angry that the feeders were empty!).

Any other possible culprits?

Not hedgehog. They are carnivores, and a great asset in your garden.
(slugs, snails, you name it)
