Default Heron!

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 !

Do they come at specific points of the year or do they pinch the fish
anytime? We've lost three sets of orfe to a heron, the fish that get
missed, usually the baby black ones, seem to go into hiding for about a
week afterwards.
