Heron visit to pond
Gill Hall1/5/04 11:01
A heron visited our pond last week and ate half the fish. The rest hid and are still looking very nervous. 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? I used to have a pond near a heronry and put fishing line at low level all around the perimeter of the pond - I'd guess it was about 6" or 8" high. The herons couldn't wade in and the fish are still there 6 years later. Some 'cover' such as water plants helps the fish to hide, too. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |
