grapevine buds eaten

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

My grapevine was full of buds a week ago - yesterday when I looked about half are hollow, presumably munched by some beast. Anyone know what it might be? and is there anything I can do stop more getting destroyed?

Hi bigpepper,

Can you see any caterpillars? I've had a problem with very small moth larvae eating the tender new leaves on quite a few different plants over-wintering in the greenhouse. Some of them are really tiny, but still cause plenty of damage.

can't see any buds. The vine is outside. I'm beginning to suspect birds...
