Koi
Just out of sheer interest, does anyone else keep Koi fish in their back garden?

No Koi but can offer a home to any overstocked Fish
I have a 90' x 30' wildlife pond that I had dug about three years ago. It has some fish in it but not from me, eggs arrive on the feet of ducks apparently! |

I need something Heron proof!
Btw Herons also seem very partial to frogs and so do Owls as they swoop down in the dusk and grab them occasionally. Third Gunnera has failed to come up this year, no idea what is going on they keep failing to get established, very odd! Unlike these I took near Plas Newydd yesterday |
