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.

Cuckoo strike, again

Strike no 4, and also a wish materialised as I wanted a better image of this extremely elusive Chestnut-winged Cuckoo at eye level, in the taman.  This was the third time I've come across this one in this season in the taman, another most unexpected encounter, and so heartening that this one does repeat visits.

And as typical it disappeared the minute it knew it was spotted.





Even the branch and leaf and twig across the length of its body couldn't hide its allure.
