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.

Just another day

 Just another day - Oriental Magpie Robin

It was very much just another walk in the taman, and then the magpie robin, our very local songbird whistled and whistled.  And I recall how excited I was when I first sighted a magpie robin during those early birding days, captivated by its midnight blue gloss, at least in the male.

And today, it was just another magpie robin, almost.  

And a walk away a young one was releasing an itch.




A preen, an itch made a difference, and the day was not just another day, at least not for me.
