Heron figure for pond and garden. This decorative gray heron is a great eye-catcher in your garden and by the garden pond. The lifelike and natural-looking model helps protect pond fish from real herons. A real heron will think that the pond is already occupied by a fellow heron and will continue to fly away. Your fish will remain in the pond and be spared by the gray heron during its search for food. With the included stake, you can secure the heron even more firmly in the ground.
