A year or 2 ago, someone on this line reported a Peregrine Falcon eating their tomatoes. Not surprisingly, when they sent in photos it was actually a Koel.

To my surprise this morning, as I passed my only truss tomato bush, I heard much rustling and out flew a Koel. I had been wondering who the thief was!
