Default Heron

Hello All

Y'gotta admire the Heron really.

I have a large pond, approx 12' x 50', 24-36" deep. Steep shelving
apart from one sloping edge. Heavily planted and with about 60% of the
free water covered with oxygenators.

In one hour (from dawn to when I let the dogs out), a heron took 9
adult 6" goldfish and approximately 100 2" black immature goldfish.

It's left a single black immature fish that I've been able to see.

Kinda solves my "I've got too many fish, what am I gonna do with
them?" problem.
