unusual to see White-shouldered Starling with some unusual colouration (orange or pink) in spring - I have no idea what causes this. This particular bird is unusual for the extent and intensity of the pink, however. It has been in the Mai Po/San Tin area for a while. In fact it used to be an even brighter pink! I saw the Rose-coloured briefly last week, feeding at the side of a fish pond near San Tin. More
