Was it in this NG that I read that with ponds it was no longer
required
to clear a hole in the ice to protect wildlife.

I don't recall such a post


Neither do I, but I've heard it on the radio at least twice during the
recent cold weather. And when you think of it, nature doesn't put holes
in
the ice, and nature usually knows what it's doing.

Nature doesn't put brightly coloured fish in very small ponds then
complain the heron ate them, either.


That's true, nature puts the right wildlife in there for the conditions. No
fish in our pond, just frogs and various invertebrates, and whatever else is
hiding in the murk.
