snake in the pond

Hi, I saw a snake in the pond as I fed the fish!

I don't know what is was as it moved quick!

Will it do any harm?

How can I get rid of it?

I have no doubt it was a Grass Snake, look for a yellow collar marking,
totally harmless although a big one (2-3ft) will nip if attacked, and it
will do no harm other than perhaps eat a few frogs.
Leave it be, you are a very lucky person.
