The heron file. A perrenial problem (Part one)
adavisus wrote:
ahah, someone mentioned herons, this can summon 'the heron file' compiled from various ponders experience, over the years.... A lot of very interesting ideas in here.....thanks for posting.....I guess that the best bet is a combination of whatever suits your environment and that is all we can do......with certain solutions there are definitely inherent dangers to other creatures which most of us would shy away from and also certain legalities and also squeamishness involved with adopting others.....afterall herons have a right to exist as well and personally I find them magnificent birds......don't want them to eat my fish but don't think I have a right to demand their destruction because they pick on an easy feeding option - same goes for Kingfishers - beautiful, stunning birds..... I don't know how my new pond will cope with the resident heron but all I can say is netting is not an option so the most I can do is a natural cover solution...... You missed out water sprays, pets (such as dogs and cats) acting as a deterant.....my dog won't even allow pigeons in the garden without kicking up merry hell......and we get a lot of wood pigeons over the back in the wooded area.....not seen him take on one of the resident red kites yet.....but as they can take prey as big as lambs I would prefer him not to......
