No issues with mosquitos here in Scotland, lol. I had maybe a dozen very healthy frogs in my pond, with great piles of spawn every spring and tadpoles galore. Then one morning last year I opened my curtains to see a heron standing in the pond. It’s been back again this month. I can’t really cover the pond, because the frogs need to come and go. Several herons live along a nearby estuary, and I guess this one happened to spot my pond one sunny day.

Consider getting a fake decoy heron, apparently they can be dissuaded from intruding on another’s turf!
Excellent suggestion!!! Thank you.
That tracks on the mosquitoes, mountainous areas drain too fast for them to proliferate like in the uppee midwest us here and our stagnant swamps.
I have known people with like goldfish and coy ponds in their Gardens that have had herons stop by and clean them out.
Maybe you could try a scarecrow or something.
