EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This Cape Gannet knows how to make a splash when it comes to mealtime. Diving underwater with precision and grace, this adult bird is caught in action as it feeds on a 'baitball' school of small bait fish off the coast of Port St. Johns in South Africa's stunning Eastern Cape. With its wings spread wide, this skilled hunter takes full advantage of the abundant marine life found along the Wild Coast. The clear blue waters provide the perfect backdrop for this moment captured by photographer Colin Marshall. As part of a group catch, these gannets work together to create an impressive spectacle. With their keen eyesight and remarkable diving abilities, they plunge into the depths below, snatching up their prey with ease. The sardines and pilchards that make up this baitball don't stand a chance against these hungry seabirds. It's survival of the fittest out here in the Indian Ocean, and these gannets are definitely at the top of their game. So next time you're enjoying some coastal scenery or dreaming about an ocean adventure, remember that beneath those sparkling waves lies an entire world teeming with incredible creatures like our feathered friend here – ready to dive into action at any moment!
