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.

Only one warbler so far

I have been waiting to spot the warblers in the taman since the migratory season started, and it was relatively easier before at the normal site until the retention works of the sewerage plant started and most of the birds avoided this site.

And I'm happy finally to spot one, an Eastern Crowned Warbler that flashed in and out in a bird wave, unfortunately keeping to the upper canopy.  However, in previous years this bird was more difficult to spot compared to the arctic warbler which I have yet to sight.

Nevertheless its distinct clear lower mandible, its whiter underpart and yellowish under-tail part clearly testify to its identity.
