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.

Cleaning by any standard

 When it was not displaying (as featured in an earlier posting), it was simply preening.  This was definitely one of the more extended and thorough preening sessions of the Banded Woodpecker I've watched as it scratched, dug into its feathers, stretched and spread.







A clumsy landing on to the next branch, which I'm not sure why it did that when it was undisturbed where it was.


Another clumsy landing on an adjacent branch.
