Gooseberry crop has disappeared

It's a magpie without wings for sure, it's a risk in any allotment.
As for currants mine failed we had very little rain in April they did not set fruit on our very dry soil.

Yes, humans, the greatest tea leaves of all time.🤬

Have they been stolen by humans?

I use nets etc but so far I have had one single gooseberry on my bush and I don't know why. Black currants are usually abundant this year not so. Red currants started well they have disappeared. My apple tree is very productive as is the rhubarb but various salads have gone to seed.
When growing fruit and veg I always expect to lose some to animals birds etc. So far I'm the only one losing out.

I spotted a Magpie eating mine so I picked them pdq.

I believe mine have gone to a human being

I had nets over them so no birds at all and we re luckily enough very enclosed and in a town we rarely have problems from any other animals, but mine have been wiped off the planet, two bushes with plenty on last week

I grow my gooseberries amongst other garden shrubs, the birds don’t seem to know they’re there.

I had two bushes stripped by a flock of starlings when I had an allotment, they were witnessed by someone in a house overlooking.

We have lost gooseberries to birds this year.
Very annoying.
I only have 3 bushes too.

Bought 2kg at Morrisons yesterday. Massively reduced.
Obviously not selling! 🤷‍♀️

Squirrels? I've just put those sharp pointy barrier strips along the top of the fence at the bottom of the garden. Partly to discourage a couple of cats that enter our garden via the fence from the woods at the bottom and poop in my raised veg beds and also to stop the pigeons perching their and pooping down the fence and mirrors that I have there.

This afternoon I saw three baby squirrels pop over the fence, delicately avoiding the pointy spikes! If they can do that, they can probably navigate a tangle of thorns...

Either that, or a greedy human has helped him/herself - that has happened to several friends of min who have allotments.

The birds have had my tayberries as they ripen this year. They do look like the birds have eaten them although they haven't dropped any.
I like them really ripe, black almost, but if I leave them 'till then they will be gone. Can't be bothered netting, we have a songthrush staying this year that I'm really pleased to have, if its them or the blackbirds I will just let them do their worst I think.
