This remarkable set of pictures was taken by Harbour View of two ostriches being herded out of the sea at Yzerfontein:
Skipper and boat owner Johan Basson came upon these 2 “swimmers” on Wednesday (25th) afternoon. He “herded” them into the harbour where they eventually ended their swim at the slipway.
It is unclear where they “launched.”
Yzerfontein is privileged to have a number of these feathered residents and it is suspected that they were practicing for the Olympics. It is not the first time these feathered athletes have been seen in the Atlantic.
(Note: NSRI was not involved in this incident.)

Thats what happens when you keep your head in the sand for too long , you don’t see the tide come in
That is so funny! My cousin told me, some years ago, that she had seen ostriches in the sea at Jakkalsfontein and I didn’t really believe her
I bet those fisherman got a kick out of that!
Ha ha … imagine those stories about the one that got away!
Wow, that is amazing!
I wonder what they were looking for in the ocea,,
They look quite unreal in the water- this is how fables about monsters and such must have come about!
How about we go to china today ??
