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. The real heron will think that the pond is already occupied by a fellow heron and will fly on. Your fish will stay in the pond and be spared by the gray heron in its search for food. With the included stake, you can secure the heron firmly in the ground.
