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.

With the green-backed flycatcher

The Green-backed Flycatcher looked gorgeously yellow as it prepared to return home to the northern region in early Jan.





And when I saw it again about two weeks later, I fall all over in love again with its even richer yellow now.






And surprise, surprise, it was still around another two-plus weeks later, at its favourite playground.






And this was when it had me stumped - could it be the same bird?

late Jan

mid Feb


And the frustration of trying to get the best shots - belly display in open pose but ....




... lovely studio pose behind messy foliage!
