an island and the island\u00a0would be adequate protection from predators\u00a0as\u00a0a home for the water fowl.\u00a0 In the meantime we made an enclosure to keep the birds safe from predators at night.\u00a0 Well, the pond in the back by the olives has been an ever on-going project so the front pond is being rethunk.\u00a0 It is a good thing we made our temporary enclosure out of posts sunk in cement and wire sex feet tall, temporary has turned into semi-permanent.\u00a0 This is our home-made pond out of a large animal watering trough, and the geese and ducks love it.\u00a0 Because it all still works and the birds come in every night to get the door closed, we did something right.<\/p>\n<p><a
