Havnt managed to get a photo, it is too quick!  we have a Herron that keeps coming in the yard trying to steal our Koi, it is smart as it knows when the dogs are inside so comes then. just saw him on the edge of the pond eying off the fish.  we have had the pond for years but this pest of a bird has only just  recently started coming regularly, i think he must have had some success and taken some fish or he wouldn't be so persistent!!

We have a pond too GHM and Herons are a problem for us as well.Watch for damage to your Koi as the Herron will spear them when trying to catch them.We haven't found a100% deterrent yet

I think we are going to have to put mesh over the pond.  The fish that are still there are not injured, my how long that beak is I have never been so close to a heron they are huge!

Give Away one very mischievous cat.
Beware of having tents set up with 5 children sleeping in it, as he may or may not use the tent as a play ground and scare the crap out of the sleeping children, and he may or may not tear your fairly new tent in 20+ places.

Other than that he's cute

I have friends who have a large koi pond near San Diego and they were plagued with seabirds as well as herons and cormorants.

A bird expert from the San Diego zoo advised them to string a wire from a tree to a tall post (they had to erect the 3-meter post) and hang an eagle kite from it over the pond. 
It doesn't seem to deter little birds or songbirds, just the larger ones, especially the cormorants, which were more predatory than the herons in their area.  It even keeps the gulls away and they are difficult to scare.

Dolly is just lovely.  I have a friend who raises rag doll cats and also Maine Coon cats, which are very large also.
She has a cattery and boards cats and it is very posh.  The cats are treated like royalty.  She has several employees and they even pick up and deliver and in limos, no less.  She bought two limos at one of the Sheriff's auctions a few years ago, quite cheaply, and had them fitted out to carry cats safely.  She is booked months in advance for the holidays - often because people don't want their holiday decorations ruined by cats.

The kite idea sounds like a good one Andie.
