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 a upon a time ... hornbill

 Archive image - May 2018


Once a upon a time ... when the taman was this Oriental Pied Hornbill's hunting ground, playground, hideaway ....


At ease ... preening


Feeding



Being naughty ... attempting to raid the lineated barbet's cavity nest



Sad to say, I've not seen this one the entire 2020, perhaps it has found a mate and moved somewhere ... if so, so wish it all happiness for its survival.
