    A concrete angel sits pondside in my garden today. A bald cypress tree trunk photobombs.

    For about 20 years, we have had a #KoiPond that we finally netted about 5 years ago. So far so good. No sign anything has ever breached the net.

    An otter is not something we have ever seen, however.
    I wonder if they would be persistent enough to just tear the net.

  9. The other day I had to remove a trespassing alligator snapping turtle from my mother-in-law’s koi pond.

    Got a cheap Aluminum fish landing net from Walmart, which had a short 2’ handle with a 1” diameter. Also got a 5’ section of 1” Sch 40 PVC pipe from the home improvement store to use as a handle extension.

    With the grip off the net it slid neatly into the PVC pipe. Secured it in place with some screws. Because I wasn’t sure how sneaky I had to be to catch the turtle, I spray painted the whole thing with some flat camo paint I had on hand.

    The turtle has had it easy in the pond, coming up to feed on koi food pellets during feeding time. Had my daughter throw some food in the deeper part of the pond that doesn’t have the false bottom where the fish can normally hide. After a few minutes the turtle came up and I was able to quickly scoop him up. That was one pissed dinosaur. 😁🎉

    Relocated it to a nice big retention pond about a mile away. 🐢 #turtle #turtlesofmastodon #wildlife #koipond #koi #fishpond
