Unfortunately, a GBH discovered our pond. Fortunately, our son scared
it away before it got more than one or two. We put up netting, and it
seems to have tried to land on it, but it's hard to say at this point
whether the netting made a difference or not. That's one *big* bird.

They remember. They don't like walking on netting around the pond,
either (or getting stuck), so good to keep this on for a while.
See if it gets discouraged.
I had one come for about a week (netted it immediately), then
thankfully, haven't seen it in a couple years.

We too had a GBH visitor. It couldn't handle the straight sides and
overhanging vegetation. Quit after five visits. Good thing.
Southern ponds become lethal after a certain period.

Haven't seen any GBH here since we put up the braided fishing line with the
sparkly ribbon. I got my order of mylar windsocks
http://preview.tinyurl.com/kmewcg that work very well also. Plus I have
these mirrored mobiles that when the light hits them dots of light move
like big bright bugs all around the pond area. ~ jan
