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.

Cool drongo

 A young Greater Racket-tailed Drongo perched quietly alone as a gang of long-tailed macaques played close by, and was certainly unfazed by the commotion and I eventually discovered that a parent was actually close by.  This subadult finally took off at a call from the parent.






Lighting certainly did not do justice to the fresh and fine black feathers of this one as it had a commanding view of the macaques fooled around.
