Heron visit to pond

I had just removed the netting that protected the pond from falling leaves all winter. I would much prefer not to have to net the pond all year round. Does anyone know of other, less unsightly but still effective deterrents against herons? Many thanks Gill Hall I believe that you can run a piece of fishing line around the pond at about 4-6 inches off the ground. I am led to believe that the herons like to wade into the water and this stops them. I have never tried this, as we have a heronry close by when I built my pond I made it formal with steep sides a metre deep and have never had a problem. The herons come and look but can't get at the fish. Diane I was speaking to a pond-owner recently and he confirmed that this method appears to work effectively. -- Larry Stoter |
