A few days ago, I noticed two birds walking on the grass island in the road. Even from a distance these birds didn't look quite like the rest of the ha-di-das which frequent the area.
So, I took a chance and drove closer, thinking they'd take off before I was close enough to get a photo. Not so, at first they just ignored me. So I opened the car door and stepped closer. To my surprise, they were as interested in me and my camera, as I was in them, and they crossed the road to check me out.
While the Egyptian geese do breed along the coast, they normally choose areas where there is a river or other body of water. They are geese after all. This area is residential with houses all around, so this was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Through the Transkei

Up early again, cos everyone's itching to get through the Transkei. When
the bikes start revving, you know you'd better hurry, or you could be left
behind....

sort of a new take on the old 'why did the chicken cross the road" joke! Why did the Egyptian goose cross the road? To take a gander at the Crazy Cow!
Very clever, well done.
