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.

Not the migratory one

A Crested Honey Buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) seemed to prefer the view from a rooftop, and stayed that way till it flew down instead of up, unfortunately lost from sight and pursuit eventually.




At this time of the year, one would have expected a migratory bird which would have been a pernis orientalis but for the crest of this one, barely visible though.



Affording eye-level shots but unfortunately from a distance
