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.

The "wagging' one

 Always shy, always fleeing, and I've lost count of the number of U-turns the Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) has made when it sensed that I was still around, and trying to get closer.

Refresher (extract mybis):
Order - Passeriformes
Family - Motacillidae
Genus - Motacilla
Specific epithet - cinerea Tunstall, 1771
Common name: Gray Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Kedidi Kepala Kelabu, Kedidi-air Kelabu, Pipit Batu
Status: Least Concern

A challenge to track it across the water but it did not look like it's so for the Wagtail as it could still figure me out, and stayed away.
