Net over the pond?
-- answer removed --
Herons wont "step in over" so a small fence round the pond would help if possible. :-)
I just posted this on an old thread by mistake.


try this, we sell them where i work, and they work quite well but you do need to move them occasionally as the herons work out they are fake.

Dave.
We have a net as the Heron once took every fish in the pond.
try net floats available on line they work for my pond
We have a wire fence around the pond at about heron knee height. We also have wire criss-crossed over the pond. So far, so good.

We visited someone else's garden this weekend and they have silver, shiny balls floating in their pond and said they'd had no problem since putting them in so we're going to try that too. Apparently the herons can't work out how /where to land because of the reflections (especially of the sky) so they go somewhere else.
I got a plastic heron at the side of my pond and I've never had any problems, herons are territorial and don't encroach on each others patch
