An amazing diversity of birds can be found at Taman Rimba Kiara - many of which are protected. The park is frequented by casual bird watchers on a regular basis and also used by birding groups who organise bird walks to share knowledge of and observe the variety of birds. My Garden Birdwatch (MYGB) drew up a list of birds that have been observed at the park - it's an amazing list of 54 varieties! How many have you seen? 

My Garden Birdwatch (MYGB) organised another bird walk at Taman Rimba Kiara on 20th May 2018. Participants were able to enjoy a bit of birdwatching and identifying some of the birds that frequent the park. This is also part of MYGB's introduction to garden birds leading up to the MYGB survey. 

"This will mean that there will be no buffer or reserve land at the bottom of the hill, and if you factor in high-intensity lighting from the condo units and additional traffic and new roads that will have to be built, I fear the fireflies and other wildlife in the area may suffer, so too the residents," he said.
