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.

Hornbill vs Mynas

It has been quite a while since I last saw the star bird of the taman.  When it was sighted this time, its rather naughty behaviour was what drew attention.  It looked like the Oriental Pied Hornbill was 'caught' trying to raid a nest, that of the Common Mynas, going by the shrieks and cries of the Mynas.



The Mynas standing guard, and still shrieking at the Hornbill.






Finally was chased off, to preen close-by.



And looked like it had to be a fruit meal after all for this bird.

 



This female Hornbill has such gorgeous eye lashes!
