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.

Blue-eared Kingfisher

 A morning dedicated to a little blue gem, the Blue-eared Kingfisher, an infrequent visitor to both the hill park and the taman.

Both adult and sub-adult have been seen to visit, and on this occasion, a sub-adult that has not quite mastered its fishing skill.


A beauty whether from afar or near.




A sub-adult male, its bill yet to turn fully black.







Finally a catch after several dive attempts.





Another go for a meal, which unfortunately ended in zilch, but a beautiful photo op for me. 




Moments when we took in each other's presence!
