Happily grazing

behind someone's back fence. I went for a walk on one of the paths on the estate as it was a lovely day for a change.

As we have five dams, I was looking for the egyptian geese chicks when I spotted the herd.

One always watches while the others go about their business.

Great to see one of them has their eye on you

[Issi Bannerman]

The egret has no fear! Funny how most of the grazers are totally at ease too. Lovely candid image.

@grammyn That bougainvillaea Katy, it also flowers all year round here, just not so profusely as in summer ;-)

[katy]

@ludwigsdiana thanks Diana. It is huge! But so beautiful.

[Heather]

Such a beautiful scene! I love the elegant springbuck against the bougainvillaea (thank you for asking @grammyn and thank you for the ID, Diana) And that one springbuck looking straight at you/ at us really makes this shot, I think. Well done, Diana!
