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.

To all birders to TRK - a Court acknowledgment

 In the recent judgement of the Court of Appeal on 27 Jan that revoked the development order of the proposed monstrous 8-block integrated commercial residential complex that would have impacted negatively the taman, it's most heartening that the court took note too of  Taman Rimba Kiara as follows:




And indeed for birders, year after year the taman never fails to delight with sightings of regular and rare migrant avian visitors.

This year too has seen the regular migrant birds to the taman, and more, a rare and first record visit from a ruddy kingfisher.

And on this note, we say goodbye to the current migrant avian season, the only migrant bird that has yet to leave seems to be the Asian Brown Flycatcher.

I take pleasure in seeing this last one off on a dreamy note, and look forward to the next season later in the year.


Hey birders, I'll be back!
