Greater Painted-snipe pair and Javan Pond Heron (video)
While watching snipe, a female Greater Painted-snipe appeared. She started flapping her wings and then a male emerged from the undergrowth. After that the two moved around together, bathing and going about their business. A second breeding attempt perhaps? The Javan Pond Heron is still on its extended stay.

There were two Javan Pond Herons a short distance apart. This individual appeared to have a slight injury to one leg.
