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.

Magpie Robin, ehh

 So, it's only the Oriental Magpie Robin?  

I dare say 'Not so!'

It's not guaranteed, at least nowadays, when it looks like this bird population is also on the decline, that one would always easily chance upon a young handsome male like this one.



The female, by comparison duller with greyish brown overall, that was heard calling, a warning that I was approaching (?), before she appeared.



And did we say that it was a rather simple looking one?  




Perhaps, it's because its lovely bloom of under-tail coverts were not fully appreciated!
