How can I keep a blue heron away from my koi pond?
I have a pond in my backyard that's approximately 10 feet by 12 feet wide and 3 feet deep at it's deepest point. It has a variety of frogs, snails, goldfish and koi in it. There are lily pads and a bridge that the fish can hide under. Tonight I saw my first heron in 9 years out back walking by the pond. I saw him land and ran out and scared him off. He came back 2 hours later. Luckily, again, I saw him land right away and ran out and scared him off. What can I do to protect my fish and to scare this heron away permanently. (short of shooting him, which I believe is illegal anyway). Thanks for your help!
Blue herons are beautiful but they can do some damage to a koi pond!
I don't have a koi pond but I have heard of two things that are supposed to work:
Bird netting to keep them out
No shallow areas in the koi pond
Since herons are wading birds, they tend to fish in shallow Water areas. No shallow water, no areas for the heron to fish. But of course that limits your koi sightings also.
Recently I was watching a small blue heron at the local botanic gardens koi pond. They didn't have any shallow areas for the bird to wade though so he was limited to standing on the bank staring at the koi in the water. He never attempted a fish grab in the deeper water.
