An interesting record. This bird was ringed as a chick on 24th June this year, at the wetlands managed for MTRC West Rail at Kam Tin. This sighting is about 5.5km from the ringing site.

Thank you for posting the photos, serene.
Please remember to post any more sightings of ringed starlings.

The starling flock (30+) is still present in the area. There are several ringed birds in the flock, and this is a good chance for anyone visiting Mai Po to observe one of these ringed birds.

I saw a few ringed birds this morning, but only managed the combination on one: (Right) Yellow/Red/Metal (Left) Yellow/White/Red. This bird was ringed at Lok Ma Chau on 12th June this year.
