Though the whole number is not shown in the photo, there is a high chance that you saw a Long-tailed Shrike with a ring (CA00035)
Regarding the CA00035 ring, it was introduced to the Shrike on 12 Sep 2015.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Shing. It's great to be able to learn more about the birds I sighted. This long-tailed shrike looks fit as a fiddle. I wonder how old it is?

During the time when we introduced the ring, it was an adult already, so I cannot tell the exact year old of the bird, however we can sure the bird is at least 3 years old.
