EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This Cape Gannet knows how to make a splash when it comes to mealtime. With its sleek feathers and sharp beak, this adult seabird dives underwater with precision, ready to devour the 'baitball' school of small bait fish off the coast of Port St. Johns in South Africa's Eastern Cape. Caught in action by photographer Colin Marshall, this incredible print captures the beauty and agility of these marine predators as they plunge into the depths of the Indian Ocean. The Wild Coast provides the perfect backdrop for this moment, showcasing nature's raw power and stunning wildlife. As part of their hunting technique, gannets rely on teamwork and coordination. In groups, they strategically surround their prey before diving headfirst into the water like synchronized acrobats. It's an impressive sight that leaves you in awe of their hunting prowess. The sardine run is a phenomenon that attracts not only these hungry gannets but also other marine creatures eager for a seafood buffet. From dolphins to sharks, everyone wants a piece of the action during this annual migration event along South Africa's coasts. So next time you're near Port St. Johns or exploring the Eastern Cape's Transkei region, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent birds taking flight and plunging beneath the surface. Who knows? You might just witness another breathtaking display as they dive into an ocean full of delicious treats!
