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.

Kingfisher of BK

 Someone once asked me if a kingfisher can be seen in the bukit and I confidently answered 'No' and urged the person to go to TRK for it.

And how wrong was I when I came across this White-throated Kingfisher hunting in the pond area close to the 'snake' path/fence.  I supposed this part of the bukit could be considered low elevation which accounts for the presence of this kingfisher  that is a common resident of sub-urban and urban areas, and forest edges.

It's one of those times I was glad to be proven wrong!
