Anyway, he swooped in a got one of the goldfish My daughter saw it and totally freaked out that a bird ate one of our fish. My question is what is a good deterrent? Our setup is a 14 foot high pressure waterfall going down to a 1000 gallon pond. Would putting a small fountain in the middle of the pond deter the heron. He has been back since this afternoon but he knows where he can get a quick meal now. I am sure he will be back. Need suggestions. BTW netting wouldn't be a very good option since we don't have anyplace to secure it. Here is a link to a videos of the pond... http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...ndVideowmv.flv I think you can see why we can't really secure a net. My heron scarecrow sprinklers have worked for me. http://www.aquaticponds.com/Pest%20Control.htm Click on the video. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
