Default Making garden pond heron-proof

vortex2 wrote:
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)?


Pop into re.ponds.moderated and ask I think ~jan uses some sort of water jet
thing using a sensor. Works for cats too
