killer heron

[Cyclops]

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

We're back on the Sharp Mind pills again, are we?

But very good!

[jeepster]

Because they get used to a static plastic bird.

How do know my Mrs

[Cyclops]

For the moment i have got string around a few sticks

I don't think fire is the answer

[Mrs Steve R]

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

Maybe we should all chip in and buy a plastic Slade?

You do get euphemisms?

Possibly you've had a very busy evening nattering away with all your message board buddies; trying to defend the indefensible and getting bogged down in the minutiae of the Lisbon Treaty (just a wild guess, btw) Plus it must be very stressful not being able to take the laptop to the loo in case you lose power (to the laptop )

Get a pond to encourage wildlife then install a fake bird to discourage wildlife.

Tsk ..
Herons in the garden again ..

[A Quiet Monkfish]

We have three rivers in Cardiff - herons are a problem here for most pond owners. Put a large flat flagstone on top of a few smaller ones - about 4 or 5" off the bottom. That allows the fish to hide, and the heron can't get at them. The fish will remain under there for hours, and the heron will bugger off. Also, a couple of plastic/iron herons, also helps..

Only one.
If a heron sees two or more it will think it's a party and come to join in.
