Well, it serves me right for bragging about
keeping jan's lotus alive (my number five try
with lotus!).

I went out on the deck this morning.
The lotus tub is right there between the kitchen
window and the lotus.

The tuber had been snapped in half! This little
decorative clay house had been knocked over and
the three little goldfish in there were gone!

Checked the main pond and the bog. No sign of any
predator. Fish in the main pond came right on over
to visit with Heidi while she drank from the side.
Then waited around for their snack.

The only critter I've seen near the lotus tub has
been the squirrel. He comes over, gets a drink and
hangs out in the shade.

I've done a google search and no where can I find
any report of a squirrel bothering fish. I can
imagine him fussing with the lotus but not the fish.

Any of you with squirrels have any insight?
Hard to imagine a heron on the deck but stranger
things have happened.
