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.

Just out of interest, but did the grebe swallow the seeds?

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