It’s the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine!  Assuming the world does not end today then you are hopefully reading this blog and looking forward to the festive season. As a final entry for 2012 I thought we could have a look back at the year and some of our favourite photographs.

From all the staff and volunteers at Forsinard we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.  We really appreciate all the hard work, dedication and interest from our volunteers, visitors and supporters. We hope to bring you even more from the reserve in 2013!
