Any way of keeping herons out? First visit ever from one .. The waterfall was off so he used that to get them after destroying it. I was given cattle fencing to try .

Heron are a nitemare.

Aqua Village have this new Heron alarm which lets high pitch noises to scare them off.. I have lost so many fish over the years to them. Even tried the fake Heron, waste of time. Unfortunately they are protected species.

I have dogs that would keep setting it off. I gave my remaining fish to a mate to mind until i get sorted with a solution. Il try the fence and see how it goes,
I have to get an 8000 litre pump somwhere as well for the new stream i built

Try Aqua Village in Brittis near blessington. They do a lot of pond stuff

[paddy147]

You dont need fancy gadgets.

All you need is a roll of green plant climber/training wire and run it accross the pond,at a height of about 1-2 feet.

The heron has to fly in,and as the heron has a large wingspan,it cannot get down to the pond,because of the plant climber/training wire.


Very cheap,and very effective,proven method,as shown below in my girlfriends Koi Carp pond.
