This is the first time I’ve been back to La Manzanilla in a year and the activity was amazing with thousands of sardines jumping up into the air around us and frigate birds and pelicans swooping down to try to catch them. This video shows frigate birds diving to scoop up sardines from the beach.

I think some were washed ashore by waves, others fell from fishermen’s nets onto the beach as they were emptying them. Most of the sardines were caught by diving frigate birds, pelicans and seagulls. This went on for most of the time we were there. Especially the first four days when the action was constant.

It was just unbelievable both the numbers of sardines and birds. I never did get an adequate photo or video that took in the whole picture.

It would be very difficult to get a good video or image, the light is low or weak from the clouds. Not your fault. Still, you captured so much great bird action video!
