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 female Cuckoo

Another stopover for the Little Bronze Cuckoo, this time was glad to see that it's a female.  As usual this bird likes to perch up high, and if not for its slim and almost upright perch, very typical of the cuckoo, I would have dismissed it for other common birds in the taman like the oriole.  With both the male and female sighted, there must be a nest somewhere although cuckoos are known to be rather cunning as they can mislead other birds to nestle their egg and young.
