Weird one.

Was up in the attic and noticed puncture holes in roof felt!  As if they'd been punched from the outside like a chisel or sharp stick poke through or something but there's no tiles dislodged?   Def not rats of whatever as not eaten through.

Any ideas apart from Freddie Kruger?

Starlings can sometimes get under the tiles and easily make holes like this. I had them in my attic, but you usually hear them, they are noisy as hell. Last winter they were breaking in a lot to get out of the cold.

Could of been damaged when the roof was being tiled and were not patched at the time . They wont take much hurt

The missus found a recently dead starling in the fireplace this evening! We have chimney guards on so the hoor must have gone some to get down the chimbley.
