Yep Dexter - definately the answer. The broccoli is picking up already, so perhaps not all is lost.

PS Spent some time chasing what I thought was a cabbage white butterfly but think it was actualy a month!

I hung old CDs upto deter the pigeons and it does seem to have deterred the cabbage whites to some extent. Still going on the caterpillar hunt on a regular basis but so far the catch has been minimal
