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.

Once upon a time ... brahminy kite

 Archive image - Nov 2018


Once a upon a time ... the Brahminy Kite made this taman home, nested more than once, raised its chicks ... experienced happy, and tragic moments too ....


It was easy to spot this one ... the pond its water hole




In the placid atmosphere of an urban public park like the taman, it's survival of the fittest too ... perhaps why the Kites have moved elsewhere to nest ... here it had to contend with the common crows and the crested goshawks for a place in the sun.
