With this lovely video, I will say farewell to 2014 and welcome to 2015. Also best wishes for a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous year for all our Forum and Gabfest friends as well as all our feathered friends, especially EJ and Odin and their 2015 family.

Oh, this is one cool bird, sunglasses and all! :)
I couldn't resist bring it forward from the main page. Hope they don't mind!

Lovely photos of the lemur, June, thank you.
Madagascar sounds a wonderful place, particularly for flora and fauna here
However there are some warnings about visiting too! They had a coup in 2009, and a new President was elected in January last year. It seems to have had a turbulent past. There is further information under each of the tab headings.
As lovely as it sounds, I think I will still have Scotland on the top of my list!

Good afternoon all. A lovely new blog written by Jen. Breagh and Millie continuing to do well always happy to see that they are well. We had snow yesterday only a small covering but still looked beautiful while it lasted which was not long! Plenty of birds visiting our feeders lots of great tits blue tits and quite a lot of coal tits more than i have seen before and also Marsh tits my favorite. I also saw a bull finch but he didnt stay long very beautiful!
June I love all the lemur photos. They are beautiful and fascinating animals and such a shame some are so endangered.
Willow it is good to see you again. Your frequent presence here on the Gabfest has been missed.
I enjoyed your "local" report -- sounds lovely.
SheilaFE, thanks for your very interesting article on Madagascar. Lovely as it might be, I would never travel there. There are plenty of natural and man-man wonders in Scotland and the USA to keep a traveler happily occupied for a lifetime.
Yes thankyou ShielaFE for the interesting article on Madagascar I would really love to go there to see the amazing wild life! There are creatures that do not exist anywhere else a bit like the Galapagos. My father went to the Galapagos not long after he retired. He left my mum behind as they both agreed that as it was expensive he would go alone as she was not that interested in bird life! LOL.She got her own back as she took herself off to Sri Lanka on a cycling holiday!
