[Hong Kong] Colour-ringed White-shouldered Starlings 灰背椋鳥套上色環

I have spotted 2 White-shouldered Starlings on the Access Road near Mai Po car park on 21May08!
They stand on a cable! I took some photos for them and found one of them was ringed!

Then I found them visit a electric box under the cable.
I wondered whether they nesting in the box, so I took a look for the electrice box after they left.
Finally, I found a dead bird were hanged, and I have informed AFCD to collect it then!

Photo from my friend (Austin NG).
The Nest Box is located near Kam Tin KCR Wetland Compensation Area, under the bridge of KCR West Rail Line.

The Ringed Bird is a female. The colour rings at the bird's right leg are yellow, red, white (from top). And it seems a yellow ring at her left leg.
