I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I caught him repeatedly perched on the roof, hovering over the koi pond. They sure are BIG up close!

I had a 25' length of triangular flags on a rope, and criss-crossed it over the pond several directions, and left it up for a few weeks. Chased him off, either from the fluttering flags or the danger of tangling his wings in the rope.

I also think a less visible solution (and less likely to freak out the fish) would be to criss-cross fishing line over the pond in a grid.

Good luck.
