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.

The only flowerpeckers here

The Orange-bellied Flowerpecker is a bird that I see now and then only, and when I chanced upon this pair, it was thrilling even though it wasn't under the best of lighting to capture their beauty.  



The female flew off leaving its mate behind, as it usually happened with the flowerpeckers, one leaving behind the other.



And then it came back with a fruit in beak.
