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.

Abundance for the Munias

I so welcomed the fast growing wild grass for the seed food of the Scaly-breasted Munias.  And this taman is blessed with these grasses that grow in profusion even as these are constantly cut flat.  The Munias are certainly one of the most gorgeous birds around.




It was also great when these birds always appeared in flocks.  Photographing these birds feeding on the grass seeds may be a challenge because of the wiry stringy nature of these grasses but in the big picture, one does get wholesome gratifying images of liveliness and abundance.
