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.

The avian 'wheat-sower'

 Another beauty from afar.  

It was simply a matter of at the right place at the right time when this female Mugimaki Flycatcher (Ficedula mugimaki) flew in when I was walking by, and hereby also hoping that I will encounter the male sometime later.

According to AI, mugimaki is a Japanese word that means 'wheat-sower' and the mugimaki flycatcher is also know as robin flycatcher.

Order - Passeriformes
Family - Muscicapidae
