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.

Growing streamers of Drongo

Going through old images, I was glad to come across a couple of images, although not so sharp, of an immature Greater Racket-tailed Drongo and its just emerging streamers. 




I was lucky to capture too this set of images, as a comparison, that suggest that a Drongo does not grow its streamers evenly in length.
Another learning experience, another fascinating observation of an avian trait.
