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.

Shrike under watch

This was what happened when I peeked at the Brown Shrike which initially was unaware that it was being watched.



I guess it wasn't sure that it was being watched which was why it continued to preen.



Then it got wiser but still continued with its act, or perhaps it thought the sanctum of the undergrowth was safe enough.  This is one bird that will flee instantly when someone approaches so for it to stay put when spotted is unusual.
