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 and its catch

Could this Tiger Shrike be struggling with its catch that looked liked an assassin bug?


The long antenna of the bug seemed to have come off first but does not matter, bug still securely in grasp.


Attempting to swallow both body and antenna.


Looked like antenna still in the way!



Another attempt at swallowing.



Not too easy with wing and all others!


Finally over after a couple of seconds, but still, a little tell-tale antenna hung from the bill.
