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.

Overdue woodpecker sighting

Woodpeckers are not uncommon in the Bukit and I've sighted two species so far.  The latest one adds to my list, i.e. the Common Flameback, which puzzles me why I've not sighted it earlier or more frequently.
This male was so preoccupied that it didn't mind me approaching closer and closer.  As with any woodpecker, it was constantly foraging and eventually took off as suddenly as it appeared.
