My Red Robin is not well :(

hello
here is a pic of my robin and he doenst look well at all
It looks like something has been nibbling at it but I cant find any evidence of the culprit!
Do you know what can I do to make it better?

thanks

 

Looks like slug or snail damage to me.

 

Could also be Vine Weevil adult beetles, they hide away during the day and feed at night; not so much of a problem themselves, but if there is any number of their young underground they could be chomping away on the roots. They usually only effect plants in confinded areas such as containers, but I have lost odd perennials to them. Might be worth a treatment of systemic Provado vine weevil killer.

Another delightful but harmless insect that cuts pieces out of leaves to build nests rather than eat them is the leaf cutter bee, they won't harm the plant at all even they make the leaves look a bit unsightly. If it's these you should see them at work during the day - amazing to watch really.

 

It`s certainly not Leaf Cutter Bees, and, I would say, not enough damage for it to be Vine Weevil.

 

Yeah, didn't think it was leaf cutter bees either as there are no lovely large semi-circular pieces missing from the leaves; just giving an example of another leaf muncher really lol.......

 

As you say Bilbo. they are amazing things to watch, have you ever seen what they do with the cuttings they take?

 

Not with my own eyes; but I know they make a nest or something like to lay an egg in to produce a youngster.....something along them lines anyway.....

I believe these are one the species of bees that will use a 'bee box' or bundles of cut canes tied together???

 

Vine Weevel ...yuck! I told my hubby of the suspect and he confirms sightseeing!
Off to the garden centre to buy something to exterminate them
