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 Kingfisher

Having seen it for more than a couple of weeks, I was itching to acquire at least an image of this recent arrival to firmly establish its presence in the taman, the much sought after Common Kingfisher.  Attempting to do so can be extremely frustrating in view of how skittish this tiny bird is.  
And finally all I managed was a blind shot into a dense foliage into which I tracked its flight.  At best these are only record shots but nevertheless so essential to have as it reaffirms the cleanliness of the river water which is supporting the abundance of fish meal that has kept the bird here for weeks already.
