Hi,I would be grateful if anyone had any ideas what is knawing at our lilac tree in the centre of our suburban garden. See picture attached. Perimeter of garden has 6-8ft fence all round, and we have no pets. It does not look like the work of a cat, and bark has also been stripped from further up tree. No sign of any animal/woodpecker during daylight hours- appears to happen at night? Thank you. Malcolm Dodd

I can only think of one animal. Deer!

Some years back, we had pruned a mahonia back - and then found its branches practically stripped clean of bark by grey squirrels.
They went around the garden and damaged at least a dozen different shrubs - including damage to a Japanese acer up in its branches, that this picture reminds me of.
