It is easy to take these birds for granted, because they are fairly common and have also been domesticated. So, you've seen one ostrich you've seen them all. I find them fascinating birds and always have time to stop for a photograph.
Domesticated ostrich photographed on the side of the road near Oudtshoorn.
These ostriches are taking the gap at the Camdeboo National Park.
Well, it is not a bird I see every day! Thanks for the closeup!
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to get such a close-up as the first image? Normally the ostriches on that- and any other -stretch of the road "take the gap" when we pass. Do you think it's the roar of our motor cycle? LOL
ReplyDeleteGorgeous portrait of this amazing bird.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography of the ostriches ~ one of nature's gems ~ for SWF ~ xoxo
