Hi all
I have a problem I had 21 fish in my pond 2 grass carp, 1 green tench, 2
blue orf, 6 English koi, 4 gold fish, 2 shubunkins,& 4 jap koi, i see them
every day swimming around, but since Monday i haven't seen any fish in the
pond i have fed them and food is still floating on the top which is normally
gone in 10 mins, a neighbour said that he saw a large grey coloured bird fly
out of my garden at about 5.00am Monday morning.
my question is could this have been a heron, and if it was could he have
decimated all my fish or could there be any left and too frightened to come
up for food, and how do i stop the blessed thing from hitting me again.
all suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Ian,

The large grey bird could very well have been a heron. If
so, the remaining fish are likely to be hiding. Give them
some time and they'll gradually reappear. To keep the heron
from getting all your fish you should cover the pond with a
net. The type used to cover fruit trees to protect the
fruit from the birds.
