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.

And the loser is ...

I had thought the White-throated Kingfisher fled at my approach until it dived instead of soared, proceeded to thrash about on the ground!



The winner was still in the reckoning.




The Garden Fence Lizard might not be bigger but was certainly longer than its predator, still all limbs and will!



Still very much alive to be defeated.



The pause before the kill?!





Was it over, finally?!




So it seemed .... as the bigger loser was ME, as the kingfisher eventually fled with its catch, denying me a closure!
