A pair of Australian little grebes (Podiceps novaehollandiae) was found inhabiting a farm pond near Dargaville in August 1972 and was still there in October 1972. The birds built a nest pad. The only previous New Zealand record is of a single male bird on a dam near Arrowtown in 1968. Descriptions and notes on behaviour are given with photographs of the birds in their swimming position.
