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.

An unfamiliar territory to the Barbet

The Lineated Barbet normally kept to only certain parts of the taman so when it flew down to this tree, it caught me by surprise.  Anyway it looked like whatever caught its interest didn't last long.  It flew off quickly.
Furthermore this barbet is not a bird that usually ventures this low to forage.






Not sure what had caught its attention for it to strain this way.
