Something digging hole in beds

I had raised beds done for flowers this year and over the last few days something keeps digging a hole in the corner of one of them.
One small plant has been eaten but apart from that nothing else, just a hole ! I know its not my cats, they never go near them so what might it be ??
I'm baffled
I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Could be a blackbird looking for worms. It's surprising how much soil they can fling out of a container in their relentless search for food.

    2) To read 50 books (5/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg

    Thanks.........hadn't thought of birds. Just seemed odd it was the same corner of the bed both times.

    Oh lor.........(panic setting in :eek:)
    Well whatever it was/is it won't get far -the beds aren't that deep. Maybe it'll get fed up and go away -do hope so if its a four legged creature !
    I did wonder about hedgehogs -know we've had one about in the garden but wouldn't have thought they'd do that.
