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.

A flowerpecker cares less

There was merely a moment of hesitation when it spotted me, and then it quickly finished off its find.




Flying further away there was another treat waiting.




Even as I approached and stood close to it, this young female Orange-bellied Flowerpecker simply turned the other way, squashed the fruit to its desired size and swallowed it.


And remember to 'brush' your bill after meal.
