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 blossoming OMR

No one will say this Oriental Magpie Robin is beautiful.  It's a sub-adult, moulting into an adult but it's stunning no less and did stop me in my tracks.


But soon this 'ugly birdie' will blossom into the following gorgeous adult.


And this is the beauty of an urban park like this taman where one can get to witness first hand how a chick can develop into an adult bird, if one tries hard enough.
