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.

Migrant Drongo-cuckoo

It was sitting so quietly, and distant, that I almost missed it.  No matter in this dry season, it's a thrill to come across another migrant, the Square-tailed Drongo-cuckoo.  This bird could be an uncommon resident in any park or area but because it's only seen here during the migratory period it could only be a winter visitor, from perhaps India or southern China.
