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.

Ever sensitive Waterhen

The White-breasted Waterhen is ever so wary of human presence.  Its sensitivity is so amazing it's able to sense a presence from a true distance.  Many times one has to content with distant shots of this adorable bird.
Nevertheless it's pretty entertaining to watch these birds when opportunities allow.

It looked like a confrontation was going on here as the bird on the left eventually had to leave!




On another occasion, I almost missed this one but for a slight movement that betrayed its presence.  Going forth for a closer shot, I simply gave away myself and it fled almost immediately.
