Yeah I am bummed about the koi also. I do have two statue herons that have kept the heron away in the past. I have relocated them to more visable locations near the pond edge and plan to keep moving them around to make it look that reside here. I hate to have to net it as it was netted all fall & winter long to keep all the Oak leaf debris out.(7 months) I made a sparkly reflective tape do-dad and tied it on a pole and stuck it in a flower pot in the pond also. The glitter of it blowing in the wind might scare the herons too! My home is a glitter palace now with all this refective tap flapping in the breeze. Not at all me, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do. My daughter told me to take it down. Well, since she is not a gardening person (hates bugs) she has no say in the matter. To much hard work has gone into these gardens and I hope to little by little remove the tapes and just leave the wire until fall. In fall the deer are welcome to come in and help me prune back all the plants! It will save me lots of pruning hours !! Twins were born this season in my neighbors yard. They are growing quickly and are so entertaining to watch, but I know in time their Mama will be teaching them how to jump the fence and try everything in sight.
The one deer in the pic is trying to get into my neighbors little nettled veggie patch. Ah..how quickly they learn where the "good stuff" is.
