Garuf said:Nah, Our heron back home soon realised he was plastic, my gran has a picture of it standing on the plastic ones back looking into the pond.
Garuf said:You can use clacks which are like a large sprung pair of blocks that snap together and make a huge bang. That's what we ended up using, just waiting till he arrived then "firing" them.

Shooting herons is not allowed so I trust that was just a joke! (As much as I would have liked to do the same when one took a 16 year old carp of mine!)
Plastic herons will not work. Herons are not territorial. I have seen them fishing side by side along the Trent many times. If anyone put one by their pond and a the heron went away it's either a coincidence or the heron thought the plastic one was dead as a warning!!!
hijac said:I read a couple of things about raising the wall around the pond (currently one course of rocks) as they need ledges to fish from. Is that true?
