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 less than common babbler here

 It's only my second encounter with the Abbott's Babbler (Malacocincla abbotti) in the bukit but on this round it's just for record with the images it allowed!

Contrary to its characteristic of foraging comparatively slower than other babblers, and on or near the ground, this one was pretty energetic and kept higher up, also unfortunately pretty distant from where I was.
