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.

Pipit family

 These birds literally had me in circles and all I wanted were just a couple of shots for comparison.

The Paddyfield Pipits (Anthus rufulus) always prove to be more than a challenge, as a norm their cardinal directions do not align, and with three running about, it's a whirlwind of movements trying to pin them down.

Male and female of these pipits look alike, the only difference would be if it's a juvenile or sub-adult.






A table of comparison merely manage to set apart the young adult.
