EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This Cape Gannet is taking the plunge into an underwater buffet like no other. With its sharp beak and keen eyesight, this adult seabird is diving headfirst into a 'baitball' school of small bait fish off the coast of Port St. Johns in South Africa's Eastern Cape. It's a feeding frenzy that would make any foodie jealous! As the gannet gracefully dives beneath the surface, it showcases its incredible hunting skills. With lightning-fast reflexes, it snatches up its prey with precision and speed. These birds are true masters of their craft, effortlessly navigating through shoals of sardines and pilchards. The Wild Coast provides the perfect backdrop for this spectacular display of nature's wonders. The rugged coastline and pristine waters create an ideal habitat for these magnificent creatures to thrive. It's not just a meal for one though – gannets often hunt in groups, forming bait balls as they work together to corral their prey. This cooperative strategy ensures that everyone gets their fair share. So next time you're feeling peckish, take inspiration from this adventurous Cape Gannet! Dive into life headfirst and enjoy every bite along the way.
