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.

The infrequent Bulbul visitor

It's an infrequent visitor to the taman although commonly sighted just kilometres away in Bukit Kiara.  So, it's special when I chanced upon it foraging in what many deemed the 'magic' tree of the taman, magic because it has attracted a diversity of birds, both local and migrant during certain times of the year.
But the Red-eyed Bulbul was the star bird of the morning.





It wasn't interested in the green fruits which are normally sought after by the pink-necked pigeons but in the flowers and these are few in the tree.




It looked deceptive that the bird was after a bite of the fruit.
