2 White-bellied sea eagle and 20-30 Red-billed Starling in 2 groups were seen at the carpark of TKO Industrial Estate.

Just curious that Red-billed Starling are usually found in the shrubs in wetland.

You may be interested to know that Red-billed Starlings also like Tai Po Industrial Etstate - a couple fo hundred winter there.

Good to know they are contiinuing to spread out around HK.

Red-billed Starlings are actually quite widespread in the winter, I think (I guess it's just that their lowland habitat is heavily built on in HK!).

I regularly see them while passing the former Kai Tak airport, and at Ho Chung, and while driving past Victoria Park recently I've seen what I've taken to be a flock of 20-30.

White-bellied sea-eagle does not surprise me as they occasionally fly past our home in Clearwater Bay, not far from TKO.

Yes, it's the one just beside the bus stop. I saw them at around 4 pm .



Dear Mike K,  
A couple of hundred?! It's good to know that.  I think I must go there this winter to see these beautiful birds. Thanks Mike.
