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.

Second 's(t)rike'

One of the greatest frustrations of a photographer's must be dealing with backlight.  And in this case I almost gave up trying to capture this one's image except for the fact that its behaviour hinted that it could be a migrant.

And persist I must despite the challenging light, and was I glad I did for it indeed turned out to be a migrant Tiger Shrike (Lanius tigrinus) .  A personal record of its presence here is since 2016.
