Woke this morning to find water levels down and a loss of fish, dont know if fish are still their no sign. How do i deter the heron in future from the pond thanks craig
Electric fence. I kept losing fish a few years back. The Herons emptied my pond. I went to World of Water and they said the only ponds on their premisies with fish were the ones with electric fence. That was three years ago. Works a treat. W of W does not always stock them but here is a guide. Google Velda

Mine cost about £80 and while expensive it is worth it.
Don't flap, don't panic. Jump.
Or how about turning it into a wildlife-friendly pond and let wildlife take over it :)

Just purchased a velda fence for 70 quid will also keep them cats away thanks Craig
I've tried a thing called Netfloat. It is circular rings of plastic mats that you cut to fit. They float on the top of the pond and plants can grow through them. I never lost any more fish once I put them in the pond.
