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.

Chatter and babble

It wouldn't be totally inaccurate to say that these birds in a flock chatter and babble nosily and harshly!  And they could leave one rather breathless trying to keep up with both their incessant chatters and movements.

Yet the Pin-striped Tit Babbler (Macronus gularis) is also at most time ignored because of its omnipresence in the bukit.

However it should be welcomed as its arrival is normally in a mixed flock, making one hopeful of perhaps a gem of a special sighting, alas, not on this occasion though!
