First Eastern Yellow Wagtail of the season, and a long-staying Javan Pond Heron
I recorded the first Eastern Yellow Wagtail of the season. It is a juvenile, but appears to be of the subspecies tschutschensis with the white supercilium. The Javan Pond Heron, with zero wariness of humans, continues its long stay.
The Greater Painted-snipe may be on a second breeding attempt — the male was collecting dead leaves and building a nest. When a snipe came close, he threatened it.

The Javan Pond Heron is easy to observe — it pays no attention even when people walking by pass right next to it.
