Don't bother with a plastic heron, it does two things.
1) Gives any passing heron a good laugh.
2) Makes money for the person you brought it from.
If a heron sees another heron it assumes that it must be safe or there is food there.
If you want to be 100% safe then cover your pond with a net, and keep it taught. it has been known for herons to stand on the net, making it sink.
They have also been known to step over / under "fences"
Not everyone likes nets, you may want to read

Good quality costs. Bear this in mind before you start.
Sorry if my reply is NOT want you want to hear, but what I have said is true.
We can only go by what you type.
A "thank you" costs nothing, but goes a long way.
