This pond at Long Valley was the habitat of a family of four common moorhens in Summer.  Water weeds have outgrown in the pond and the moorhens were no where to be seen.  In the morning of November 18th a little grebe appeared surfing on the water weeds picking up seeds under the water.  The pond became a play field of this little grebe.

With the seed in its mouth, the little grebe dived into the water again.
