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.

The crowned warbler

It would have to suffice for the time being, a record shot of the Eastern Crowned Warbler (Phylloscopus coronatus) my first warbler sighting for the season.  A distinct feature, if one is unable to capture its signature median stripe on its crown, that attested to its identity is its clean bill tip.

A regular visitor since I first made it a point to record warbler arrivals in 2017, this is one bird that could be spotted throughout the migrant season in both TRK and BK, the only issue being how close-up a shot one can get given their hyper active movements and keeping to mid and upper tree canopy most of the time.

Keeping very much to the upper canopy this time, I had to be contented with mere record shots only.
