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.

Too friendly Woody

 The Crimson-winged Woodpeckers in the taman are so used to human proximity that they do create some apprehension, lest they be nabbed!

This male was so absorbed in its foraging or curiosity that I could have reached out and touched it, mere arm's length away.  In fact I had to step back in order to capture these images, and it was minutes before it realised my presence, and merely flew up to the branch above.
