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.

Kingfisher once more

Another day another visit, by our irregular visitor Collared Kingfisher.  This time the Kingfisher displayed a rather uncharacteristic behaviour, going after insect prey.
As always, it's so heart-warming to see an uncommon bird visitor (as this kingfisher is a winged resident of the beach) to the taman, and I couldn't repeat enough that this's attributed to the uniqueness of this taman, that keeps on attracting an unusual range of birds.
This was by far the nearest, and lowest, I got to the Kingfisher as it had its back to me, and it's truly a gorgeous bird the closer I get to see it.
