Have my pond eight years, gradually built up to 24 fish - including 6 of
original fish I put in when I first built it - and a !*#$ing Heron
cleaned
it out last week

(brevity snip)
=========================
If it wasn't for the bird netting over our ponds we wouldn't have one fish
left. We not only have herons but kingfishers, huge bullfrogs, snakes and
snapper turtles to clean us out.
