I think it is a White faced Heron Adrian and he will love your fish. I saw a Shag at my top pond the other day. (I thought they were seabirds) He was very calm and not at all bothered to see me. I hope he didn't eat too many of my tadpoles. |

We get blue herons, like these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blue_Heron Around here, the thought is that if a heron has no good place to stand to fish, he won't be able to clean out our fish. My goldfish pond is designed with no shallows for that reason. |

Very reassuring, Janet. My swimming pool is a minimum 1m sheer drop. The little ponds in front of it may contain a few taddies and platties. My visitor is, as Faye confirms, a White-faced Heron. |

Troutman, the question is, did you feed your visitors to the fish? |

I doubt the fish would eat them as they are maggot infested things. I think the foxes cleaned up most of what was worth eating. The fact is that shags are a big problem on most aquaculture farms and even though all my ponds are netted I still get a few find there way thru and after having an easy feed discover they cant get out again. |

I don't know about WA but here in VIC, at the very least, you'd cop a big fine for that. Remember we don't know who's watching. |

I thought this was alluding to, if that what happen to the birds after having a feed of your fish, beware of eating them yourself. ( As a joke of course  )
