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.

Spiderhunter treat

 The Spectacled Spiderhunter may be commonly seen elsewhere but it's always a treat to come across it in the bukit.  And it seemed to haunt a wide area across the bukit as I've rarely sighted it at the same place.

And this time, it was where I least expected it and its presence must have not been welcomed by the other birds as it was the din especially of the stripe-throated bulbuls that drew my attention to it.


Still, unaffected by the cries that it had created, it paused to preen before leaving the scene.
