Photos of the flying Cape gannet (Morus capensis) far in front of the coast, near Dyer island, South Africa.

The Cape Gannet (Morus capensis) breeds on the islands off the coasts of South Africa and Namibia.
On the sea the birds are often found above fish shoals.
Cape Gannets hunt by plunge diving.
From heights of 10 to 30 metres, they plunge into the sea, and shortly after it they come up to the sea surface with their prey.
