Default ossprey got one of my koi

Michael,

Know what you are going through. I lost one of my prized Ranchus to an
Osprey.

With most birds of prey that will take fish their technique is swoop, grab
and fly away. This is a good chance to add to your backyard landscape and
not deal with tacky netting over your pond. Build a Pergola or an Arbor
over the pond. This will hinder the swoop part of the technique, and you
can put fishing line between the cross beams hinder the perk, swoop
technique. Use climbing vines like morning glories, other climber to soften
the squared of pillars and crossbeams.

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?
