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.

For mere record

 I would have persisted and I would have pursued once upon a time, but  has familiarity bred complacency?  Or put it down to the heat-induced fatigue that effected heavy feet!

I guess it's one for the road for now, till the next closer encounter.

The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia)(Sambar-Kunyit Kening Putih) made for a solitary forager, silent, a touch-and-go before it teased off.

This re-acquaintance had to suffice for the time being.


What's in a name?
One of the best ways to describe anything must be to simply point out its most outstanding features - white brow, and 'kunyit' colour although strictly speaking, ' kunyit' is turmeric that's bright orangey but assumes yellow when used in cooking.
