A fun morning doing storytime and craft at my awesome local indie @boardwalkbooks 💛📚
Yay, some kids came 😅🤗
I learnt something about gannets from one of the mums who was a keen scuba diver:
Every winter off the east coast of South Africa, divers flock to the Sardine Run, where thousands of migrating sardines attract large numbers of apex predators like sharks, dolphins and whales. Large numbers of cape gannets also follow the run. The mum told me that each year, more divers are hurt by diving gannets than sharks or any other predators. Apparently, these large sea birds hurtling straight down at speeds of up to 100km/h can pierce scuba tanks with their beaks. If like me you’d never heard of the Sardine Run you should check it out - some spectacular photos online
