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.

Mi 'amur'

 It's always a joy to come across the Amur Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone incei), more commonly the brown morph, during the migrant season.

And without fail I tend to get it in the company of foraging pin-striped tit-babblers, when it's sighting in the bukit.

The female and immature male or first winter sub-adult are very similar.    This bird is a common passage migrant seen only for a couple of weeks before it moves on.  And it maybe sighted again on its return journey back home later in the season.
