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.

Another close Goshawk encounter

I was absorbed watching the two Crested Goshawk looking like they were playfully pursuing one another.  Suddenly these two flew towards me and landed right up front.  Both looked like male, one older than the other.
I can only say, Gorgeous, Gorgeous birds!


This older one stayed a little farther up.


When the younger one flew off, the older one stayed on but was spooked by the sound of the leaf blower that approached, and flew off to seek haven even higher up but shielded in the middle canopy.  Fortunately it stayed long enough for me to approach and get  a couple of close-ups, and mind, what huge and stunningly sharp claws, and hook-beak!  Just look at the hook-grip on the branch.
