Pond's first winter - tasks?

I was wondering if I could ask for some ideas here.

It's my wildlife ponds first winter shortly and I'm not sure if there is anything I should be doing to "prepare" it. I'm half leaning towards just leaving it to it's onw devices to see what happens. I'm not removing all (just some) of the leaves that are getting into it and it still has a resonable amount of blanket weed in there. Will the weed naturally die off? There's LOADS living in it so am reluctant to remove it myself.

Any advice from greatly appreciated.
