Not sure what this bird is called in English but known in Egypt as "sadeek il fallah" the friend of the farmer. Basically this bird sticks around when the water buffalo are stirring the earth through those rake contratption things (sorry I have no idea what the technical terms are) and eat up worms which are uncovered. I saw this when we were driving through farm land, was pretty cool but unfortunatley couldnt take out the cam fast enough.

Then we have a random sheep seen on the side of the road while en route to the valley of the kings. I'm sure it belongs to somebody, but it was just doing its thing..

Little boy at the statues at Memnon was trying to sell me trinkets..I didnt want anything but told him I would give him an egyptian pound if he would pose with the donkey another tourist was taking pictures with. Turned out it was his father's donkey.
