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.

Enchanted, Malkoha

Even though the Green-billed Malkoha is a regular visitor to the taman (and there's a pair to boot), it's still not easy to get up close with it.  I managed only one close-up view when I sighted it on two occasions.






The closer sighting was against a prettier backdrop.  There was a pair but unfortunately they did not get close together for a photo-op but were foraging separately.


Nevertheless, this one was calling out loud.



It puffed up when there was no response although the other bird was just two trees away!




Picturesque and enchanting!
