I strung the fishing wire yesterday. Today I woke up and one more fish was gone. It was one of the golden orfs. It's not a big loss compared with what happened yesterday, but it's very worying knowing that it managed to get anything despite my efforts. It looks like it stood on some long grass (as it looks slightly squashed) nearby the pond, in the one place I didn't have any wire.

Tonight I will set the fountain to turn on intermittently. I know it doesn't scare the heron (as I tried it before when I actually saw the heron approach, it thought absolutly nothing of the fountain turning on), but at least it won't be able to stand close without being rained upon, which might distract it.

When the house was built two years ago I wired several cameras around the garden and driveway. They were intended for security, but I never got around to ordering a 4 channel capture card, so only the one in the driveway was connected till now. I've switched this over to the garden for now, so if the heron comes back at least I'll know what it's tactics are (which side it tries to approach from, did it just happen to land in the one place without wire or was it persistant enough to look around the pond for a good place, etc).
