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.

Barbet's privacy moment

It's entertaining to watch this Lineated Barbet in action, not at its best though!






A birder actually loves it when he or she stumbles upon a preening bird.  It's opportune occasion to get some amusing images of the unsuspecting bird.  Nevertheless, images of the Lineated Barbet are generally not too easy to capture if the bird perches in dense foliage, and distance further works against these views.
