  2. Well it worked on our pond and now I've moved the guy next door used the
    same trick after a heron had half his koi.

    We use our old plastic heron sitting on the middle of the patio table to
    stop the pigeons crapping on the patio furniture.
    Territorial only when they are hunting. HTH.

    I tried the mesh over the pond but the heron stood on the middle of it
    sinking it close to the water, he then stabbed at the fish that he then
    couldn't get back through the mesh. Lost 4 to stab wounds.

    BTDTGTTS, make no difference, bastard heron just worked the other side
    of the pond.
    It depends on the time of year, when they are feeding youngsters only
    a good fine mesh of metal is likely to work, and even then the bastards
    might find a way.

    they're all easy mistakes to make, after all.

    You need to weld up a frame. The mesh needs to be a foot or
    so above the water and well supported.

    If it's a German company with three letters as their name then we had
    about a hundred of their tvs back in the 70s and 80s when my dad owned
    a tv rental business.

    Well, I thought I did, but your spaceport comment rang the bell.

    [snip naughty stuff]

    hey, I didn't even mention the prosecution for illegal arms trading...

    Still, don't mind me - I'm just jealous I don't work for a firm that
    makes guns.
    Sure, the spaceport's definitely cool.
    I do remember it being rather shit.

    You're probably thinking of the right make of consumer electronics
    company, but the holding corporation is American.

    God only knows, but they made very reliable tvs, which is why we had so
    many

    Heh - I worked it out last night too. I assumed you already knew from your
    comment about ethics in the savings thread, after reading the same extract
    you quoted below.

  11. There was an additional problem with the netting. It got in the way of
    the 9 programed dancing fountains.[1] Oh and the cascading waterfalls.

    ..22 rim fire with a silencer and subsonics, no problem.


    [1] I got carried away with the copper pipe left over from having the
    house built. Got a bunch washing machine solenoid control valves and a
    sequence driven by an eprom. The pump and filter system fed the water
    falls and/or the fountains.

  12. I did get told that but my luck with Koi Carp was based on buying the
    really small ones for a couple of quid. Keep them isolated for a couple
    of weeks then put them in the pond to get on with it. The pond was about
    a meter and a half deep in the middle and about five meters wide and
    eight meters long. I'd feed the fish (there was a big mixture as well as
    Koi) once or twice a week just to see them come up to the surface.

    But the best was a piece of wire stretched across the long axis of the
    pond between two trees. I used to hang a piece of old meat in the middle
    in the summer. The flies would lay eggs on it and the larvae would drop
    off into the pond when the trees moved. The Koi sort of hung around
    underneath with their mouths open.
