Magnolia leaves eaten

Grandadg is concerned because something is eating the leaves of his magnolia. The plant has a couple of sorry looking flowers and now something is eating the leaves - Has anyone any idea what it could be and what we can do?

Has any one got any ideas please
not sure if this works (am not too good with computers) but I googled in what eats magnolia leaves and quite a few sites came up
clearly the link didn't work - sorry.
Could you be more specific? what species of magnolia is it? does it look as if some kind of insect is eating the leaves? are the leaves being eaten from the edges or are holes appearing in the middle of the leaves. Alternatively are the leaves being eaten completely as by some kind of herbivore such as a deer? more information needed.
