Corralling Floating Water Plants

[Isabelheather]

I made a ring for plants using a florists ring - an EGRET came down and, presumably, tried to land on the ring and fell in but stabbed a fish on the way - left many large white feathers and it visited again, so know that was the bird - I do not use rings anymore - the bird thought it was a landing place

One reason I have a wide weave fisherman's strong net over my whole pond! Birds can't get in except little ones that like to bath. What stops the birds from getting your fish by just standing on the sides and waiting for an opportune moment?
