it might be slugs or other insect, not birds, which will be how they get under the netting

I was going to suggest the same - could even be ants, I often find them in the half they have left. Do you have them up on straw or something like that, it may help. I pick them anyway, wash what's left and bung them in the freezer ready to make jam or wine with when I have enough.

How abut getting some of those colorful little plastic wind things which spin around?? I've got those all over my lottie- got them from the pound shop last year.

In fact any sort of scarecrow would be useful. Try stringing a few old CD's together as the sparkle often scares the birds.
Have a chat with your friends and see what you can invent. Remember to take a photo though so we can admire your handiwork!!
