been dealing with the blue heron again. If I get up before dawn I usually see him arrive, but once in a while I don’t. I have tried everything that I know of, but there doesn’t seem to be anything else I can do. I bang on a pan and sometimes he leaves,but comes back. I don’t have collector grade fish, but have had some of them for 5+ years. He was down in the water this morning. I saw one of two golden orfes on the ground about ten feet away. His mouth was moving a bit so I threw him back in. Maybe he will make it. These two fish are at least a foot in length. The only option I can think of is to just restock the pond with small generic goldfish when I get down to a couple of survivors. I could put a net back but that impairs the looks of the pond. Dog gone bird just came back. Now he is on the roof of a neighbors house. I was thinking about putting the. Net just below the wate, but then I lose the water lilie. Our dog barking at him limits the bird’s action a bit but again that is if and when he sees him.
