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.

'So' common flycatcher

 A tale of two Asian Brown Flycatchers (Muscicapa dauurica), at different parts of the taman.  And as always only one will normally spend its entire time here before it decides to fly home.  Why not both?

Over the years I've yet to see more than one in the taman.

Family - Muscicapidae
Genus - Muscicapa
Specific epithet - dauurica Pallas, 1811
