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.

Annoying but adorable squirrel

I have mentioned countless times that I would like to declare war on the Plantain Squirrels!  They have raided birds' nests (including one in my balcony which saw the loss of two bulbul's eggs, sucked dry!), appearing suddenly to frighten off birds that were perching for one's shots.
Yet when I came across them and their antics, my heart did melt a little.







This one was so engrossed in gnawing that it ignored me, barely a couple of feet away.  The squirrel will characteristically gnaw off the external layer and scurry off eventually with the inner seed.
