I am looking for the duck whisperer (Miss Lydia). I had the same problem last year. Snappers. I had one in the pond last year. The ducks knew and wouldn't get in the pond. They just walked around it all day long. So sad .. I had thrown out their baby swimming pool but after the turtle appeared I got them a new pool and they loved it. We tried to get the turtle out but he broke the handle on our net. A few days later the ducks went back into the pond. No problem at all and we didn't see the turtle again. Maybe we scared him away. This year we noticed the ducks came in from the pond and started the pond parade again. I'm thinking they wanted a new pool and they got one. But they still wouldn't go back into the pond. And then we saw him. We got this one and it is gone forever more but the ducks weren't around when we got him out of the water. So how do they know when the turtle is gone? Somehow they knew last year even though we didn't physically get him, he just left. It's been 2 days now and they are looking but none have gone back in the pond. I am wondering if there's another one I haven't seen or they don't know the turtle gone. Maybe I could draw them a picture?
