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.

Arresting encounter with the Oriole

When this Black-naped Oriole alighted and saw me, I thought it would flee but I guessed the ripe palm fruits were too irresistible and so off it headed for the picking and managed a couple before it took off as quickly as it came down.


It went for one.



Then it went for another, and another, and gave me the thrill of capturing its images doing so.  Everything was truly done in remarkably quick succession.





This bunch of palm fruits was just next to the other tree but was totally ignored.  Strange!
