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.

Catching up with the barbets

 It could only be the recent second brood of Lineated Barbets as I chanced upon this pair foraging up high, and it certainly felt good to see them all grown up!

The first one ....




... and the other




And it was certainly not the fig fruits that they're after, for none was taken, as they probed in between the figs instead.

And how this handsome bird blended in perfectly with the leaves and the figs!
