Water snake invading the pond.

Several years ago I built the wife a garden pond and put in some goldfish.

Frogs instantly found it and provided great entertainment.

For the last month I noticed the goldfish were acting very skittish and not eating and the frogs went to hiding.

Then there it was with a goldfish in it's mouth, the common water snake.

The wife wants the snake removed but my attempts to catch it failed.

 

Well today I saw it again for the last time.

    Good shot. You can catch them in a wire funnel style minnow trap if you ever need to. I’ve caught them that way many times on accident , once crawdads and minnows are in the trap they can’t resist

    I'm unsurprised. Most Bird's can deal with snakes.
