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.

Repeat flycatcher visitor

 The Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica) has predictably arrived and in good time too.

Plain and large-eyed, it may not be any bird photographer's target but this little fella holds its own charm in its petite form.  Beauty in the eye of the beholder?

It will usually keep to mid-canopy but may be sighted lower sometimes and that's when to delight in its appeal.  It's another long-stay visitor so there's no urgency to capture its presence.
