Something

has been eating great chunks out of the leaves of my bay tree.  Ok, so it's a bay bush, but something has been eating it.  Considering all the aromatics bayleaves contain it must be a pretty strong-stomached something.  There are curved gaps along the edges of the leaves, and one leaf mid-rib where the rest of the leaf has been devoured.

Thinx: probably not slugs or snails.  Maybe caterpillars of some kind, or leafcutter bees - I've had them on a rose in the yard before now.  Hmmm, maybe I should go out one evening after dark & have a look.  Not that it gets really dark in our yard, what with the adjacent streetlight & all.

Still, I shall ponder on the wildlife we harbour.  Y'all have a good day now!
