Re: Damn Seagulls

So far the owl idea has been working.  I replaced the three fish with 
the same type and last time I counted I still had 12... ;-)

Gees Ray there's a big difference b/t maybe one seagull being frightened 
by an aggressive owl and quite another when you have hundreds of them. 
   I believe we're all a little braver in numbers...

I'd get rid of the pond before I'd desecrate it with a net.

Thanks though for the suggestion.
