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.

Taman's very own Kingfishers

I would normally walk past the White-throated Kingfisher if it had its back to me but on this occasion it was too stunning to dismiss.





This common bird has the 'unfortunate' ubiquitous presence that a birder would naturally overlook or quickly pass it over for another.

Going by the bird's plumage, one knows that this one is rather aged,  and a long time resident of the taman.


And this could probably be its mate as the two are normally found close by in the same vicinity, which is in fact the first afore-mentioned bird.
