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.

By name is still green

Can one ever not want to meet flycatchers like the Green-backed Flycatcher)(Sambar Belakang-hijau) again and again?

How does one explain the delight of a repeat avian encounter, even a commonplace one?

What's in a name?
Straightforward and to the point, a transliteration of green-backed, a bird named by the colour of its plumage.  Also known as Sambar-Kunyit Hijau, 'kunyit' being turmeric, by this it's one of yellowish-green colour.
