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.

Goodbye, Kingfisher, I think

This other migrant, the Common Kingfisher, seemed to have flown away.  It could perhaps be due to the constant human traffic and activities along and in the river that shortened its stay.  I have hoped that it would still be around till February or March when the migrant birds start to return home.  Fish was aplenty in the river for it, although, alas, the bigger fishes are also the target of people who frequent the river for fishing.
These were my last decent images of it on its usual perch.





And the last time I saw it was from afar, and I had thought that this could be its new perch.
