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.

Little yellow magnet

 A little yellow cannonball that refreshes tiring eyes that have almost given up on any interesting sighting, to say the least.

The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia), especially the male, is undoubtedly a treat for sore eyes.  I've noticed over the years that the female is more easily spotted in the taman than the male.  And most of the time, these flycatchers are seen at the beginning of the migratory season and again just before they fly home, so it's rather uncommon to find it here mid-season.








I guess yellow is quite addictive as I can't seem to let go despite the same standing order!







I hope we have taken delight in each other!




Eyeing it this low was a bonus because just a couple of days before, it was way too high up.
