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.

Iora excitement

I got pretty excited when I saw these images and thought them to be of the Green Iora, but these turned out to be just those of the female Common Iora.  The most distinct feature between these two species must be the eye, the Green Iora has clear yellow eyering.   The mistake of identification normally lies with the female Common Iora which also has greenish body.
