A bit fishy…

Went through my normal routine this morning. The last bit is to nip into the Garden and top up the bird feeders and feed the fish. Big problem this morning was that there were no fish in the pond, all 23 were gone!

At first I thought it was a Heron or something, but it seemed unusual that it could gobble all 23 so efficiently. The resident frogs were also missing, so any Heron probably wouldn’t have been able to take off after a feast like that! Suspicions rose more when I realised the bottom of the pond had been disturbed a lot and pond plants severed. Suspicion was not the word when I fond a trail leading away from the pond and towards a Zippo lighter in the middle of the garden. I’d been robbed, but rather bizarrely only for my fish.

I’m gutted, as when we bought the house, the pond and the few fish in it were not in a good state. But we had succesfully got the fish to breed and the pond was coming along nicely, now we have to start again. The kids will not be happy when I get home this evening. Not sure why somebody would go to such trouble just to get some fish?
