For some reason this year I am not seeing the goldfish come to the surface when I feed them. I know they are eating because obviously the flakes are disappearing. Could this be due to the weather conditions or have they been disturbed by something?

most likely a heron has been visiting and when they see you approaching they dive for cover for safety.

Thank you for that information! That would explain them hiding!

What actual heron are, How they looks ?

Ashurjames,
Its a big, ugly thing. You can't miss one when it is standing over your pond spearing the fish.
Here are some lovely pictures of our European heron. http://www.peterpreece.com/page5.htm
