Making garden pond heron-proof
Hi,
In the next couple of weeks we are seriously "upgrading" our garden pond to be approx 15m^2 (is/was about 3 m^2). Local herons seem to feed well from garden ponds, so historically we had fruit cage netting covering ours to prevent them harvesting our fish. A complete eyesore. Any ideas/suggestions for a less visually intrusive method for making the pond unattractive to herons (and for that matter wild ducks)? I see here http://www.wildwoodsonline.co.uk/aca...eterrents.html that there are quite a few commercial options none of which have any great aesthetic appeal. I am thinking that a grid of taut fishing line on 1 foot-ish centres will unobtrusively "cut the mustard". Is this likely to be effective? Any other suggestions? David |
