philjay Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 In all the years weve had the pond this is the first time we have actually caught one of these characters in the act. We have had reports from neighbours of 2 of them at one point fishing and taking frogs but usually when we were at work. Theres only newts and snails in the pond now so this one didnt have much luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our neighbour said one was seen to sit on the mesh net to pull it down then fish through the gap it made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
