Gannets Dive Bombing

One of the most amazing sights is Gannets dive bombing a school of bait fish.  This is a regular occurrence during the feeding frenzy of seabirds, sharks, dolphins and whales in the annual Sardine Run off the east coast of Africa. 

In an upcoming lecture on board the ms Amsterdam, I will be showing a short clip of the gannets courtesy of the kind folks at Earth Touch, based out of Durban, South Africa.  Check this out - amazing!!
