The last few days a starling flock (~60 birds) has been feeding in and around Gei wai #7. Its a mixed flock of White Shouldered and Red-billed, but I believe there's at least one Chestnut-tailed Starling in amongst them.

A Red-necked Phalarope on Pond #15a yesterday (06 July). According to the Avifauna of HK this is an uncommon record in Summer.
