This really gets to me. I installed a pond to encourage the wildlife into my jardin, and the cats and the herons ate the fish (and hedgehogs and squirrels toppled in and drowned). We are directly under the heron's flight path from Heathrow to Forest Farm and they regularly dropped in.

Bugga the wildlife! My pond is now a slate feature.

Probably would've been easier to just put a net over it.

Yeah, but it was also a reflective pond (as befits its builder).

It was installed using the Golden Rule which meant I had to dig out the roots of a 60-year-old apple tree. Frustrated is not the word!

In this case however the bird is the word or haven't you heard?

And the heron (as it's halftime)

[Mad as a fish]

Jeepster that effin heron wont stop now until he has cleaned you out mate, A quick answer is to put a few sticks/canes round the pond and zigzag some fishing line/wool/string around and across the pond. Hope this helps

Can the cat get up on that low roof! maybe an idea.
Net will work a treat and will be fairly cheap.

I had a heron eyeing up my pond - even landing next to it.
Got a plastic heron - haven't seen the real one since

[Cyclops]

Does it (ie plastic heron) really work

Not with plastic fish, so I've been told

I had my doubts, but it's worked for me.

For the moment i have got string around a few sticks

A single false Heron works well.The mistake people tend to make is they put two, because herons are never seen together the buggers know they are false, dont ask me how.

A big mirror works better.

A big mirror works better.

Why are they that vain.

[Maxim]

Why are they that vain.

Because they get used to a static plastic bird.

Against herons or to make one of these 'reflective' ponds?
