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.

On high with swiftlets

 Time when you spin, and spin, and spin, all for the sake of the swiftlets.

And once upon a time, I would have walked on without even attempting to take on these tiny perpetually air-borne ones (though they are comparatively medium-sized), yet due regard must be extended!

And these had appeared in flocks again, and highly likely were Germain's Swiftlets (Aerodramus germani) going by the deeper tail-fork, paler underparts and paler rump.
