Hi all,
I'm typing this message with the seething rage and thirst for vengence I haven't felt for some time now. Over the weekend, a great blue heron paid a couple of visits to my pond, the first time it was scared away when I opened the blinds and let in the morning sun. When I went downstairs half an hour later, I saw it flew away from the pond again. I didn't think much of it expect making a mental note of maybe putting on the old ugly netting again, but I was reassuring myself that the kois are bigger now so they can't be easy prey for the bird.
Much to my horror, when I went to the backyard to feed my kois, I found one of the bigger ones ( about 12" long) was laying by the side of pond with a few nasty spear wounds on the sides. It was dead!!
The plastic heron decoy didn't seem to work this time.
The ugly netting is back and I am purchasing an air rifle so next time I see the bluw heron, there will be a dead heron!
Ugh!!!
