Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

A Kite and its feast!

If you want to learn how to devour your food, learn it from the Brahminy Kite, caught this morning feasting on what looked like a rat, as it swallowed the entire prey including the tail!
     It was certainly fortunate for me to have sighted this as the Kite swooped down just yards away from me for something on the ground, and what a move, ever so smooth and swift .  Then it was a chase for me to locate where it had taken its prey, right on top of a tree.
 





 
 

And then it was all over when it swallowed the tail.

Surely the dragonfly on the left was not hoping for a teeny weeny leftover!

And then it was cleaning up time for the Kite as it wiped its bill on the branch.


Definitely one satisfied bird this morning!
