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.

Serpent-eagles 'at home'

The incessant calls and daily circling in the sky above this housing area would definitely have alerted any observant resident to their presence, a most vocal trio of Crested Serpent-eagles as they dominated the sky this last couple of months.

Unfortunately I've not been able to spot the family of three together and only managed to sight a pair  which looked like be a parent and sub-adult, leading to a conjecture that some kind of training of juvy was in process then.




Perching high and low, and screeching from its perch, it was a common sight in the different parks in the area. 

And by their easy behaviours, one can definitely be assured that this family is as much at home in this area as the residents are!
