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.

Falconets' feast

This is the first time I came across two Black-thighed Falconets absorbed in their catch, one a beetle, the other a dragonfly.  The one with the beetle seemed to have it more difficult, going at it for a couple of minutes before it could finish off the poor insect.
   The one with the beetle got his catch first and was joined by the other, and whilst the other had swallowed its insect, this one was still at it.  In fact, the second one had gone for a second dragonfly and the first one had still not finished its first.  Nevertheless it had a most satisfactory look when it was all over.
