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.

Mother and young Sunbird's outing

Adult sunbirds are commonly seen in gardens and parks.  The juveniles or immatures are not so easily detected so when I chance upon any, I do consider it a privilege, and this immature male Brown-throated or Plain-throated as it's now known gave me the privilege on this occasion.

 

 

The immature was actively accompanied by the female adult that stayed with it the entire duration.
