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.

A little wee teaser

It is always a challenge to nail down the Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker and I have had little luck trying to get an ideal image so far.  Nevertheless little glimpses of its back in particular will suggest to any one what a beauty it is, especially the male.



The female too comes with its own charm and different occasions reveal a beauty of its own.



 
This picture will give an idea how tiny this bird is.
