Check out the past posts about "scarecrows". Some of us have these
motion-detector sprinklers to keep the heron away. It's a neat little
device, and might be worth trying if you're hesitant to net the pond.

the best thing to do, the tough part is how to deal with the

We came home and found one of our Koi missing the other day and the fish
were all spooked. The next afternoon we observed an ossprey fly into
our
backyard and turn away at the last minute when he saw us. What can I
do,
if
anything, to keep him from coming back for another snack?

When I net my pond after the reeds have grown, I wrap the
netting around the reeds and anchor the net on either side
with rocks to keep it in place.
