3 Koel juv in 1 brood 三噪鵑幼鳥寄生在一巢

Taken in Ho Sheung Heung farmland area on 11 Aug.Though Black-collared Starling is a common host of Koel, this is the first time we saw BC Starling raising 3 Koel juveniles in one brood. Is this the "highest record" ever?

在8月11日河上鄉農地拍得。雖然經常見到噪鵑幼鳥寄生在黑領椋鳥巢，但這是我們首次見到一巢裏有3隻噪鵑幼鳥這麼多。不知道這是否最高紀錄?

I have seen a BC starling nest in LV with 1 koel and 1 starling juv some years ago (size a little bit larger than that in David's photo above). The koel juv showed aggressive behaviour in competing food from parents. However, I'm not sure if the starling juv survived.
