There has been a heron lurking by the pond in the sunken garden and it appears has removed some of the fish in the afor mentioned pond.  The under gardener is very upset especially as his favorite and largest fish Goldy locks appears to have been taken for lunch.  We had just finished supper this evening when he returned for desert.  What a sight we much of looked to anyone passing with the under gardener hanging out of the dining room window shouting at the bird, the Doberman running round in circles shouting at what she did not know and me running after the poor bird with a rubber rake.  As a type this up the husband is patrolling the garden.
