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.

Tailorbird in training

 Was it being cruel to be kind?  Undoubtedly as the Dark-necked Tailorbird (Orthotomus atrogularis) parents went about busily foraging even as its juvenile, hot on its heels, was calling out incessantly.  There was not a moment when the parents approached to feed, and it's evident.

The parents, male and female indistinguishable,  only established as both were foraging separately close-by before they came together teasing the juvenile.




It's a wonder that this juvenile didn't go giddy trying to keep up with its super-active parents.
 



A moment respite, for me too, before the family left the scene, and all's quiet again.
