EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! These Cape Gannets are taking their underwater dining experience to the next level as they dive headfirst into a 'baitball' buffet. Offshore Port St. Johns, South Africa, these two adult gannets show off their impressive hunting skills as they plunge beneath the surface and join forces to catch some tasty treats. With the stunning backdrop of the 'Wild Coast' and Eastern Cape's Transkei province, these seabirds have found themselves in an aquatic paradise. The crystal-clear waters provide the perfect playground for these agile hunters to showcase their aerial acrobatics before gracefully diving into the depths below. As part of a larger group of gannets, these birds prove that teamwork makes the dream work when it comes to catching dinner. With synchronized precision, they strategically target schools of small baitfish known as sardines or pilchards forming mesmerizing 'baitballs. ' It's like watching an underwater ballet! The vibrant marine life surrounding them adds another layer of beauty to this moment captured by photographer Colin Marshall from FLPA Images. From colorful shoals of fish to other curious seabirds observing from afar, there is never a dull moment in this bustling oceanic ecosystem. So grab your snorkel gear and prepare for an adventure because these Cape Gannets are showing us how it's done under the sea!
