The pond in our garden has waterlilies which make a good home for the Goldfish which live there as well. They swim about quite happily most of the time and enjoy the sunshine especially. It warms their little bodies and they visit all the nooks and crannies of the slate rocks that line the pond. They do a good job of keeping the sides of the pond clean.....They also unfortunately, eat up the little tadpoles, those little black creatures which grow into frogs after a little while....
But then...when the White Faced Heron arrives, all the fish suddenly swim as fast as they can and hide under the waterlily leaves....
You can see the Heron looking very intently to see if he can't make a breakfast of one of the little Goldfish, but they hide themselves pretty well. The Heron though, is very smart and knows how to stir the water with his leg and scare the fish out into the open water where he can see them and grab one....Remember to click on the photos to get a close look at the pond and its wildlife won't you.....
