[Leica] PESO: intruders in the pool - what can be done?

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

I recognise a male mallard so presume the blurry one is a female one. 
Assuming you don't use the pool at this time of year, Nathan, why don't you 
try netting it. I know netting is popular with people who keep fish in their 
ponds to prevent herons having a feed.
