Anti-Bird Netting
I lost three of my biggest goldfish to an egret, so I bought some anti-bird
netting which is a nylon type web with about 3/4 inch holes. It seems to me that a bird would not see the net (it's black) and could still cause havoc in the pond if it got tangled in the net. Have I chosen the wrong solution? Regards, Ken Russell --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Anti-Bird Netting
I have been using a similar netting for several years. The only problem I
have had was with smaller birds who sometimes flew under it. They entrapped themselves and would die if not discovered quickly enough. I solved that by strategically placed plantings. Netting is the only surefire way to avoid losses from herons and the like. -- Jim and Sara Humphries, Victoria, BC "Ken Russell" wrote in message u...

Anti-Bird Netting
right solution, it is just going to take time for them to figure out they aint gonna
get no more free meals. anything heavier will degrade the quality of looking at our ponds.
