A wretched heron has been to one of the ponds this morning and either it's
cleared it out or all the fish are hiding! I feel sure it's the latter as
it's a well-stocked pond but while I don't begrudge it one or two fish,
we'll be furious if it takes the koi. And we *are* furious that it's
taken
a mass of frog spawn. ;-(

Sorry to hear about your loss.

We now electrify the sides and net over the top of our pond to prevent the
herons here.
They still have miles of adjacent canal to go at - so they wont starve !

We can't electrify because the public wouldn't appreciate it. ;-) We might
be able to net, though the fountain/pot in the middle would make that a bit
more difficult. In the end, I think we'll either have to net, or move all
the fish to a different pond which has no wading access at all.
