Default ossprey got one of my koi

I netted my pond to keep the bloody crane out, then I nearly killed my fish
with the net.

Somehow one of my fish squeezed through the hole around the plants and
landed on top of the net! Got stuck there. Her fin is all frayed now and
her back is badly sun burnt! What a mess! Thanks to the crane, heron, red
tail hawk, osprey and all the other darn birds that are hell bent on feeding
on our fish!

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?
