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.

Transit Flycatcher

Feeling rather dejected after having missed the raptor photo opportunity, and scouring the taman for it the next morning, hoping against hope, without success inevitably, I was thrilled to be rewarded by the encounter with the Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, one with striking orange flush at its throat, which I believe is an uncommon image.  It's a male with growing breeding plumage, usually seen in spring, so I believe this one is on the way home, so another transit visitor.
