For Greg, the annual sardine run is ‘the greatest show on Earth’. But after two weeks of searching he had only encountered two baitballs, one in poor visibility and this small one of redeye round herring. He captured the moment one gannet seized a mouthful of fish, a fizzing trail of bubbles in its wake.
The hunt begins as dolphins use their sonar skills and bubble streams to isolate a ball of fish, driving them to the surface. The gannets take advantage of the feast. With their wings folded back into an arrowhead, they plummet 30 metres through the air, piercing the water at up to 90 kilometres per hour.

Greg fell in love with the sea during his childhood. The Mediterranean Sea became his favourite area and where he learned to scuba dive and photograph. Today he travels the world to live his childhood dream: immortalising marine life in its natural environment and sharing with the general public the beauty of nature, in order to preserve it.
Help us harness the power of photography to advance scientific knowledge, spread awareness of important issues and nurture a global love for nature.
