All I can say is ‘WOW’.
I was sitting at the computer when I saw a large bird fly past the patio doors and right into my pond with a splash. I don’t know my birds really well and he didn’t stay in the pond very long for me to get a good look, but I think it was a hawk.
The pond has netting over it, but the hawk pulled the netting stakes out of the ground when it went into the water. The net prevented him from taking off with a fish, but I don’t know if it’s talons injured any of them. I went outside to check, but the fish are staying at the bottom of the pond right now. Fingers crossed the net surprised him and he didn’t get hold of any of the fish.
