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.

New 'focus' on Flowerpecker

I could't wait to try out my new gears and what better place than the taman to initiate it.  And I was doubly excited to chance upon this almost perfect subject in the female Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker which is tiny and hyperactive, just the one to test the new gears.  And I was not disappointed considering it's the very first attempt.
To top this, the Flowerpecker is an extremely difficult subject to photograph and to find it gathering fibres, obviously for nesting purpose which is a bonus, thus all in all a real challenge to photograph.  Within a span of only a couple of minutes, its skittishness was evident in the following numerous different bearings.
