Something has had me goldfish?
We have a small pond which until recently had seven goldfish in
it, we have this year in particular built it up with plants to add coverage and added a brick dry wall edging to replace the old cane wall we originally had and added lilies which covers two thirds of the pond which is about 2 feet deep at one end and about eighteen inches at the other. We have also erected two pergolas, one directly over the pond which has fine netting over the top to discourage the odd heron etc and the other as a seating area. We had until a few days ago seven goldfish, we only now have two left, I had made a cover over the pond which was plastic netting attached to garden cane to protect the fish but this year because of the extra coverage of plants I removed the cover (it won't fit now anyway due to the overgrown plants) but there had been sufficient cover to protect them, or so I thought, the linked photo's below will show very little flight path for a heron or even a seagull to land and takeoff but we still lost five fish over two days. Any idea what might have nabbed the fish, or do you think it possible for a flying predator to take the fish as there may not have been sufficient coverage after all? http://stephen.hull.mediacave.co.uk/example/pond1.jpg http://stephen.hull.mediacave.co.uk/example/pond2.jpg http://stephen.hull.mediacave.co.uk/example/pond3.jpg http://stephen.hull.mediacave.co.uk/example/pond4.jpg Stephen. -- http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk From the Wirral Peninsula.
