Hi -A taught pond net will do the job with 2 -4 inch clearance from the water or piano wire zig zagged - Gulls - wood pigeons and worst of all Herons { who will empty your pond in five minutes -}
on ebay or Amazon £6.50p
://www.amazon.co.uk/Blagdon-Clearview-Pond-Cover-Net/dp/B002TPTS52/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1527006279&sr=8-2&keywords=pond+cover+net
they have to be on tight and have 2-4 inch clearance form the water, you can get Gnomes etc to weigh them down too, which are then an attractive feature - no net no fish if you want to leave a gap in one corner for Frogs that's your choice - ill advised as Frogs Toads will chase your fish to have sex with and stress will kill your fish -
also use a Bio filter works just as well as the expensive light ones!
I have 15-18 young 2 inch baby fish now it's nice to be a Daddy again!
removed two frogs and sealed my pond up with a net no entry next year as the large fish eat the frog spawn anyway;)
PMD YOU TOO

Crikey heck @Joey66 really does know his stuff on this. I could sense the enthusiasm through the fact that even his typing improved!

Hi joey, quick question and not wishing to stray too far off topic. If I lie in a pond dressed as a baby fish how long do I have to wait before a frog toad has sex with me? Only my skin is starting to go wrinkly now and i think I’m getting mild hypothermia

Think he is in bed/sedated.

But I think he would mention he told the World BFS was getting the shove. End of! ;)lol
 

internet based one here ...

in forums, facebook or you tube comments discussing religious beliefs when people declare themselves agnostic, saying your agnostic does not describe your belief. Majority of theists, deists, and atheists are agnostic.

The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that there is no way it will end up well for the fish. There will certainly be a voltage gradient either side or end of their bodies and they'll end up stunned.

Also consider using a plastic heron. I believe they're territorial so if they see one gaping into your pond, they might just avoid confrontation.

Thanks mate.

Already tried a plastic heron. The real heron couldn't care less. They also sell a device with a laser (very expensive 140 €) that makes the noise of a chicken, whenever it spots a heron. For some reason herons are supposed to fear chickens. I'm quite sceptical. I suppose there's probably a reason that you don't see a lot of ponds with electric fences. Google didn't really provide useful results. In Japan someone tried something similar; he had an issue with deer so decided to electrify his fence. 6,9 or 12 Volts wasn't enough for him; it was putting out 100 V directly from the house (so high current). Unfortunately it was stood on a river bank, so partly into the river. One guy decided to go swimming, not far from the fence. He died, as did another one that tried to save him and 5 were injured. It's quite clear that this was going to end very badly.

The fence energizer is 9 v, and +- 0.2 Joule so initially I thought that might have been feasible. Hmmm.

@larbert toffee I don't think my neighbours would approve of me shooting the heron. Mind you I don't think they would hear, they are all old.

@Joey66 is also an expert on ponds mate.

Maybe he can offer some advice ?

Thank you mate.

Yes it's probably safer to try @Joey66 alternative solution.

I'm wanting to pay a credit card bill by cheque. I'm in the bank and trying to make it to the counter unmolested, and get the bill stamped and initialled as paid.

Can I help you today? Are you paying in a cheque? I can help you with that if you come with me to that machine by the door.

Please, just go away!
