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.

Myna's call

 Not the usual behaviour, but nevertheless a brilliant dive by the Javan Myna,(Acridotheres javanicus) and so made my day, on a rather dismal birding-walk up the bukit.

Normally taken for granted for its commonality and ubiquitous presence, this one was too noisy to be ignored.  So I was pleased that I paid it due attention, and was rewarded with a display!
