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 true beauty

When I saw this beauty, I wondered how anyone could walk past and not admire it!
     It is obviously a young adult, gorgeous and pristine - its feathers pure white and midnight-blue - simply stunning!
    The Oriental Magpie Robin population in the taman is unusually large for a park and so a person does tend to take these birds for granted.  But if one were to pause and observe them, one can truly track the development stages of this OMR, from chick to juvenile or sub-adult to adult.






Just a week ago, I was admiring these other sub-adults, in moulting feathers, even then these birds look superb.
