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.

Beautiful Oriole

One of the most beautiful birds in the taman has to be the Black-naped Oriole, whether an adult or sub-adult.
This sub-adult showed its curiosity as it sought the best fruit.  It looked like it was going for this one, but perhaps not, as it turned away, looking down and up.




And then off it went, obviously that fruit was not quite ripe yet.


On a previous occasion, this other sub-adult, or could it be the same one, displayed acrobatic moments as it foraged.




This bird looked adorable for the way it perched, or 'stood' on its two, with wings or 'arms' folded behind!
