Dive Bomber Alert
Gannets are truly brilliant dive bombers. They cruise along at quite a speed, maybe 35m above the sea, glide momentarily and then PLUMMET, first 15 metres with their wings fairly open, next 10 metres more compact and the final few metres they are like a rocket. They must go quite deep down as it is a almost a minute before they bounce up on the surface again, probably chomping their way through a mackerel. A moment recovery and then they soar off to do it all again. Do you think they talk each other....hey that one is MINE!!!!! Boom!
