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.

Oh kingfishers!

 I reckon there are probably three pairs of White-throated Kingfishers in the taman.

And going by recent events, it looks like there will constantly be new generations of kingfishers here.

This 'shy' pair took a relatively long time perching and gazing around that I thought they were perhaps on guard for a stash hidden somewhere.  It took me by surprise when the one on the left suddenly decided to get amorous, and on an open stark bare branch!








It was all over in no time, and then, hmmm, why did she look so angry!!
