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)?

Herons are very territorial, so a dummy heron at the pond side works well.
