Second breeding record for this species in this summer. A Good news!
It sounds it begins to establish a breeding population in HK.
However it makes me wonder why this sp. is categorized as wetland-dependent species.

看見它們在這裏繁衍是高興的事。  
希望這不是全球暖化的影嚮，又或是它們原本的繁殖地受破壞所致。

It's interesting to see that they are breeding in Hong Kong.
Hope their appearance here in summer, is not because of the effect of Global Warming or destruction of their original breeding ground.

I also noticed two Red-billed Starling in Kowloon Park on 26/7/08 morning.
Initially I wondered if I identified them worngly as it seems that they are not commonly seen in Hong Kong during summer.

It is really glad that they really start to breed in Hong Kong.
