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.

Migrant Warbler

Another wonderful sighting for the taman, the latest migrant visitor being the Arctic Warbler.  This tiny bird of about 13cm can come from Siberia, north-eastern China, Japan or even Alaska to escape winter there.
     It can be found in parks, forest and forest edge and mangroves.  It tends to stay at middle to top canopy level of trees, and is continuously active so not too easy to take shots of this one.
