A friend of mine has a fishpond & a couple of times a week he finds
one or two of his fish dead on the lawn with their heads bitten off.

Any idea what sort of predator he should be looking for? We assumed
that anything that would get the fish out of the pond would eat the
whole fish (e.g. heron or cat)

Thanks


Hi sfby I think cats are known for just eating heads.They do it with mice
as well.


Really? The only remains we ever find are stomachs. And they totally
refuse mackerel etc heads.
