Default Something is eating my Cherry leaves

Any ideas as to what might be eating my Cherry Tree leaves, whatever it is it is leaving very jaggedy edges? I've had a look around but can't find anything lurking!

Could be pidgon damage - the wreched things have nicked most of the cherries already and the fruit is still green!

my cherry trees have been ravaged by small green catapillars, been squishing them for a couple of weeks. they are quite hard to spot but gently flicking the leaf clusters sometimes dislodges them.
