Geese Being Herded Along Mumbles Road, Swansea

These geese from the local park have been causing chaos to rush-hour traffic recently, by wandering away from the park lake to graze on the roadside verges, sometimes crossing the busy road to feed on the greener pastures on the other side. Walking home this evening, I spotted two cyclists herding the geese from Swansea University back to their rightful place in the park next door. Excuse the grainy footage, but it was nearly dark. Here's an article about the goose problem: www.walesonlin...

Frightening to see the geese walking so close to the road. Bravo to the cyclists for their ingenuity and kindness and glad the geese accepted their intervention. Thank you for an important look at a continuing problem.

Thanks, Cathy. They've only recently started leaving the park and I worry if one rushes into the road as a car is speeding past, it could result in carnage - not nice for people or geese...

I'm glad they herded them back across so they were not hit by the cars, great video

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks. I think there's going to be a nasty accident before long!

That was wonderful, kind work. Many thanks to those two cyclists who did a great job. Thank you also Jeremy for sharing. Have a good day. Greetings, Julie.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks, Julie. I think the naughty geese might be out on the road again before long!

Great video material ..... Loved birds are the most important !!! It's great that students helped the geese get to the park peacefully. Have a good tomorrow - Regards - Ela.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks, Ela. I thought it was nice of the cyclists to help them as well and stope them going onto the road!

[@AnnieGOiseauxetnature]

These geese were not in the right place during the rush-hour traffic ! Cyclists did well to help them get to the right place for everyone's safety. Great capture.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks, Annie. Hopefully, they learn to keep away from the road or one of them may come to a nasty end!

[@aidabirch630]

Brilliant filming by BadgerBotherer1. I do hope the geese are safe from the busy traffic on the Mumbles Road. Expertly captured on video

Велосипедисты молодцы, охраняли гусей всю дорогу. Добрый сюжет!

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks.

[@manumerino]

Very beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing Greetings

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks.

[@AnnDavid26]

That is a great idea to herd them back...Good job and thanks for sharing this wonderful video

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks, Ann. Trouble is, they'll probably head out into danger soon. Maybe a fence is needed to keep them in?

[@rimvyd]

Nice family walking 😄👍🔔💪

An amazing goose walk. 👍 Thanks, friend. Greetings.

[@Birdwow63]

Finally disciplined :) Move in a straight line :).. Nice capture!!

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Yes, thanks. Geese kept in line by sargeant-major cyclists!

[@HelenaMikas]

They were lucky with the thoughtful cyclists .Say this for Manchester The traffic stops and people go and keep it stopped whilst geese ( there are loads in M/C) get across ...Lovely video footage of humanity at it's best :) *

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Thanks, Helena. Nice to know they Manchester is a goose-loving city! Funny thing is, these geese have been in this park for the time I've been in Swansea (19 years), and it's only now they've started venturing out and wandering along the road. I worry there's going to be a nasty accident soon...

[@HelenaMikas]

@@BadgerBotherer1 Strange they have only just started to do such.. Manchester motorists and public are very much like these terrific cyclists the geese do actually head for traffic lights in Manchester , which is amazing since few people do.What time of day is this Strange they are out so late and what has caused them to start leaving the park ..Have faith in people and the geese ..Clearly they geese your end like a great night out .)

[@BadgerBotherer1]

This was about 5 p.m. or so. I now have visions of Mancunian geese pressing the buttons of pedestrian crossings and crossing over the road only when the lights go green. Reminds of when my favourite political party, the Monster Raving Loonies, had a policy of lowering the buttons on pedestrian crossings so hedgehogs could cross in safety.

[@HelenaMikas]

@@BadgerBotherer1 here is a link and truly this is how they are ..ie ) in contrl kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYXVh5hvmrN3mbs not my video though I have one with fewer geese . Talk about the Green Cross Goose :)

[@TravelwithYvonne]

They are so beautiful, but is a dangerous place for a walk !!!

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Yes, very dangerous. Nearly as dangerous as you walking on the C.N. Tower!

[@voiceofshajik3840]

Hi! My New friend! Big like 👏 👏

[@blessall4ever]
