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.

Migrant stragglers

 The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher was one of the earlier arrivals but not the Brown Shrike nor the Asian Brown Flycatcher.  And these birds are still around.

First, in the taman, this one flew down to the ground unexpectedly, a surprise for it is uncommon to see an Asian Brown Flycatcher on the ground.




Then I came across this female Yellow-rumped Flycatcher busy looking for a meal whilst I was up in the bukit.



And on the way back this Brown Shrike flew into sight with a meal in beak but by the time I reached it for an image, the catch was down in a gulp.
