or hawks or coyotes or fox. yep. one reason farmers lock their fowl up at night.
but you can get some protection by putting bird netting high over the pond and around
the sides.

BTW, fowl is a misspelling of foul. Ingrid

I bought a beautiful pair of Mandarin ducks last November and so far so
good.
My only worry is to find one of
the ducks missing or finding scattered feathers in the yard from a
visit from an Owl at night or a hawk in the day. But like I said so
far so good. Although there is a little bit more algae build up this
spring over last, I guess from added duck droppings.
