Did you see the video I did on the Heron. I got some video clips from TH-cam and did a video with them showing just what a Heron can do: th-cam.com/video/mw-qh3h4eZk/w-d-xo.html Take care, Terry.
We have regular fly overs by herons en route to the river North Tyne nearby. Pond is permanently netted, even though I hate having it, it is a necessity if you want to keep your fish.
PLEASE HELP! Watched your video I've liked and subscribed. The up flow filter........which bulk head fitting have you used........the grey one......and where do I get one from? Also what size hole do i need to drill in acrylic? Thanks very much I hope you can help as I'm pulling my hair out.😀
Hi Claire. Thanks for liking and subscribing. I bought the bulk head fitting for the air from Toolstation (but you can get them from B&Q, Screwfix etc.). It is a " J G Speedfit tank connector 15mm" and costs £3.88. I cannot remember the hole i drilled for it but on the J G Guest site it says a 29mm hole. Drill a 29mm hole in a piece of scrap and see if that's ok before you drill the acrylic tube. After cutting the hole I then heated the plastic around the hole til it went a bit soft. Then quickly fit the tank connector before it cools. This is because the tube is curved and the tank connector may leak if that area isn't flattened down. Good luck and if you have any further questions don't hesitste to ask.
@@peterfinkill8098 Thanks Peter you certainly know your stuff!🙂 I'll give it a try with the hairdryer and just hope it doesn't burn out 😄 Thanks again and speak soon! 👍
Buggers.. They are the ultimate fish hunters.. I have been lucky for the last few years.. They fly over but don't land.. Not much room for them to land and walk in.. Plus my dog is around..

Be careful mate, once he's been fed, he'll be back. Terry.
Thanks Terry. I've put some defences up now. Hopefully they will stop him.

Thanks Neil. It is a shame that you need to do that.

@@peterfinkill8098 Thank you so much I'll give it a try and thanks for getting back to me so soon. I'll give you a shout if I need anymore help.
@@peterfinkill8098 Hello again sorry to bother you with this but what type of heat gun do I use is it flame or hot air? Thanks.
@@claireansell4531 Hot air if you've got one. You can also use a hair dryer on max heat.

Sure is. You cannot relax anymore.

Hi Leon. They certainly are.
Buggers.. They are the ultimate fish hunters.. I have been lucky for the last few years.. They fly over but don't land.. Not much room for them to land and walk in.. Plus my dog is around..
Hi Chris. Yeah they are great fish hunters unfortunately!
Did the heron take any fish ?
Yeah. It took around 10 fish altogether. Gutted.
Oh man sorry hear about that. Need to fire that fake crocodile. You normally have a net over it?
Hopefully many are still hiding somewhere.
had one once took a fish then hung around for days..not been back gor a year now thankfully
Hi Amanda. That's good news however you can never be sure if a heron might come back. Always on your guard.
