Herons!

...who knows maybe even mines that will blow up when you walk over them

That sounds like a mine to me.

Some use those water scarecrows but they only work in non-freezing weather and when they do work you will be getting wet too when you forget they are set up and are all dressed up in your nicest clothes to go out for dinner

It would be neat if there was a way to train them to feed but not in the pond. Like a Pavlov's Heron. Omg I'd be rich if I could come up with that solution.

So far the heron hasn't come back… a lot of folks say they'll come back to finish clearing out the pond, so hope this is doing the trick

Hope so too slakker!

Such a nice pond with plants, good job!

How funny this was on the front page of the local community paper this morning! LOL… My guess the netting isn't working very well for them…

They gave the bird a nice landing platform, with that tarp. I had a floating island full of plants, removed just because of the bird landing on it.
