Iced Netting - or Frozen Heron Guard


Despite the snowy weather that is enveloping the country our little town is just dry and very cold. The last remaining flakes of snow on the shed roof have disappeared and the black birds are searching lawn for the sunflower seeds and raisins that I threw out this morning.

The little wildlife pond was frozen solid and I have poured water into a corner to help it defrost a little. The larger fish pond is free from ice in the centre.

The one thing that caught my eye this morning was the patterns on the netting, in the corner where the oxygenating pump is causing little splashes of water to jump from the surface :-)

Oh, what a lovely pattern! Will you have trouble with the herons all year long or only certain times of the year? Luckily here they have flown to their winter home which is thankfully far away from our pond! It will be a long time before we see them again.
