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.

Everlasting Kingfisher

When it is relatively quiet in the taman, there will always be the resident birds to look out for.  The White-throated Kingfisher, now renamed as White-breasted Kingfisher, is not difficult to spot.  There is more than a pair of Kingfishers here, and productive too, and so it's always delightful to come across a sub-adult suggesting a perpetual healthy population.



Meanwhile, on the other side of the taman, this one was calling out even as it was sunning itself.
