Default Grey Heron came for breakfast

Did she try the motion sprinkler scarecrow?

I'm hearing good reviews, and I am happy with mine. Though I am waiting for
shops to start selling the scarecrow sign: "Beware of attack sprinkler."

Since I put my little post-its on the door with "Sprinkler?" written on
them, both going in (to remember to turn it on) and out, to turn it off. I
haven't got wet lately. Course it also is wise to take your last look at
the pond, before turning it on. Once turned on, with downcast eyes (so you
don't see something else to snip, straighten, or rearrange) go straight in
the house. ~ jan

then nothing worked to keep em out. She will have to net her ponds or continue to
lose fish. Ingrid

Heron,s are territorial so the only thing thats known to keep them away is a
fake heron at the pond.
