The flowers are truly out on the West Coast and I believe it is a sight to behold.  Last year and the year before that was also amazing and the patch work of colours is something you have to see for yourself.  Mostly white and yellow flowers at the moment and mostly around the National Park.  Why not take a weekend off and come and see it for yourself.  If you want help with accommodation let me know. 

Egypt: 

One of the most captivating places to visit in Africa is the ancient Pyramids & Sphinx located just south of Cairo. Over 4,000 years old, the three Al Giza pyramids (Khufu, Khephren, and Khafre) are impressive in size alone. The iconic Great Sphinx, with its human head and lion body, sits majestically before the pyramids.

Raja Chatterjee, 50, is secretary of Junglees, one of the biggest wildlife conservation NGOs in India. He was witness to the first nationally documented release of a healthy tiger into the Sunderbans forests after sustained medical treatment for an injury in Kolkata zoo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone with even a fleeting interest in ecology and wildlife, he says.

A critically endangered clouded leopard cub has been captured by tribes people in a remote area of Bangladesh. Many conservationists thought the leopards were actually extinct in the country.

Mohammed Islam from the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh says the find is "exciting and hugely significant".  Clouded leopards are solitary, nocturnal and arboreal cats. They are also one of the least studied leopards because of their secretive and timid nature.

The Trust is now trying to release the cub.
