The Doodle showed a line of birds wearing Google's signature colours eagerly awaiting the New Year, one of the birds closely watches their watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In place of the green 'l' there was a green egg waiting to hatch as the world celebrated the arrival of 2016.</div>
