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 ugly side

A bird's nest is a natural wonder.  It is almost a privilege to see a nest, even more so to see the bird active around it because I know that nature's cycle is in progress.  It is not easy to spot the Brown-throated Sunbird's nest, what more to see the parents around it.
     Unfortunately, a couple of days after spotting this splendid work of art, it went missing, or more precisely, was poached.  That's the ugly side of man, unable to leave nature be.





And it was the same with this nest which I am unsure of which bird.


And with this too - soon after I saw the Zebra Dove brooding, the nest was swiped, and perhaps the egg or eggs too.
