Wildlife Crossing!?

It's not strictly Nelson, but in Blenheim I found this sign. Ducks are really wild, and that's why we have to shoot them; though kids can get equally wild, we pray they grow out of it.

22 Mates:

No zebra there to let the ducks cross the road in a safety way ?

Matthieu said...

Here is the explanation.

Ben said...

City ducks must be more educated and crossing on the zebra. Ours are country ducks so crossing wherever they like!?

This is funny. We used to have a "Goats Crossing" sign on the freeway here. Wild goats used to cross the freeway to get to the grass on the other side.

what a great sign, i like it a lot, how these things differ from country to country.
you're very funny =)
have a great weekend Meg and Ben.

Anonymous said...

Great shot!

That's such fun! I'd sit and just wait for them.

Have a good weekend!

Eric said...

Very funny Matthieu! Me I thought it was a George Bush crossing..."Careful, lame ducks crossing". Sorry, didn't mean to get political...

even if you didnt meant it Eric...it made me laugh:)

Meg Nakagawa said...

Eric, in that case, duck shooting springs to mind.

Matthieu said...

This is another roadsign which deserves a visit.

Hey! I brake for baby ducks, sign or no sign!

Kate said...

Did I understand that correctly, Meg--kids with guns!! The sign is bright and VERY clear.

Hey there!
Cool shots on your blog - it's always interesting to see snapshots from someone's daily life.
Take care,
Joel

Ame said...

You guys are cracking me up! LOL! We have this sign here too...great shot! =)

Bill said...

It kind of looks like they are hopping :)

It reminds me of the deer crossing signs around here where it looks like the deer are dancing, or at least walking on their rear legs.

Meg Nakagawa said...

Kate, no no no no. Bad joke by me. Gun control is fairly good in NZ, at least in the urban areas.

Ben said...

Thank you for all of you. I'm but surprising such a great attention for this shot. Well it's fun!

Oh yeah! Matthieu!
That is... what can I say.... original as someone said there.

Eric, is that because we said "shoot them"? (sorry, I couldn't resist not saying....)

Meg Nakagawa said...

Jing, you can't see the 19th? It's about airport security - I wonder if Big Brother is interfering with your reception!?

kris said...

the best thing is they made a sign for it , cool!

Ben said...

We may have few more those (different kind) of signs. I will keep eye on them.
