Watch: Gaggle of geese run fowl on northern motorway

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

A gaggle of geese held up traffic on the northern motorway as they found themselves stuck on the road on Thursday afternoon.

The geese entered the motorway from a lake at the Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant. Feathers flew as the geese headed north, before they took the nearest exit – a berm near the Greville Rd off-ramp.

The geese were in a flap when they realised they were stuck between a concrete barrier and three lanes of Auckland’s busy holiday traffic.

While the geese appeared largely unruffled after the incident, motorists were said to have had goose bumps.
