On this occasion the Kingfisher was seen at eye level although not close range, and as with any other birds, flying off when approached. Nevertheless its gorgeous distinct blue was so very visible, so by far the best shots I've got of this bird in the taman.
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.

Mangrove visitor
I was so surprised, or perhaps not, to see the Collared Kingfisher aka Mangrove Kingfisher again. Time and again, the taman has received transit or passage birds which had been either forest birds or mangrove birds, so perhaps we would see a highland bird one day!?
