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.

Quietude in the taman

It looks like it's 'business' as usual in the taman now that the number of migrant avian sightings has dwindled.
The two Brown Shrikes are still in the taman and I hope to be able to catch them in breeding/richer plumage before they head home.



This lone Asian Brown Flycatcher has stayed on till now but normally keeps to mid canopy nowadays.


Another surprise sighting is the Ashy Minivets which usually come and go but instead have been regularly sighted here.



Sad to say every birder's favourite area where stood the birds' favourite trees or what we called the magic trees (because these trees seemed to attract such a range of birds) has seen a loss when the middle one fell and so did one direct to it, and since then this area has been terribly quiet.
