The first picture seems not to show.
The second shows a Red-whiskered Bulbul (bottom left) and a juvenile Black-collared Starling (top right).
The last shows a juvenile Black-collared Starling.

There are a lot of juvenile Black-collared around at the moment - they are slightly confusing because they lack the black collars of the adults!

There ...

, I'll try to fix the problem of posting pics ...

Thanks! Agreed about the Bulbul and juvenile Starling on the wire ... but the bird in the same photo with the Bulbul doesn't look like the juvenile Starling in the other photo ... it has a dark grey head/neck.
By the way, I've seen quite some juvenile Starling with a few adults in end Aug at an estuary (leading to a large mudflat) in Sai Kung. A pond heron was also spotted there.
