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.

When bulbuls reign

 There were at least four and it was unusual, even more so as they were sniping in the air at and below eye-levels, among the low trees and shrubs.

The Black-headed Bulbuls out in force was a novel encounter as I've only ever come across a single or at most a pair so far, making them a boisterous flock for once.






Spoilt for choice, I was only too happy to be distracted and indecisive as to which one to target.




And it finally noticed me!



And amidst the flock, suddenly popped the Square-tailed Drongo-cuckoo that seemed to prefer the security of its higher perch.
