I am checking the grass for any flash of white and soon my suspicion is confirmed: Cattle Egrets (cover photo)! There is a tin fishing hut on stilts and some sort of netting across the lagoon, either to prevent the larger fish getting in, or getting out of it.

I think that the ponds were already out of use and filled with atmospheric water only.

Cattle Egrets are thoroughly modern birds – they were among the first species to ditch mailed letters for faxes, then switched to email early, and now (at least in China) mostly communicate by WeChat. They are also early adopters with regard to their foraging – nowadays mostly following tractors rather than cattle.
