Road Trip Day 53. Knysna Heads and Wilderness

After packing up this morning, we went to visit the Knysna Heads. Beautiful views.




The first view site had a metal sculpture dedicated to SANParks.
After filling up with petrol, we made our way to the Wilderness National Park, "Ebb and Flow"

We have a site on the Touw River. The bird life is amazing. We've seen ducks and ducklings, Coots and guinea fowls and chicks.
When I was taking a photo of a guinea fowl chick with my telephoto lens on my camera, the mother or father attacked me, going for my head. It obviously thought I was threatening its chick.
I later heard that the same bird had subsequently attacked another camper. She also had grey hair. She was knocked to the ground. I think the bird thought she was me - the chick-stalker! I have taken to wearing a disguise. My cap!
