I am delighted to discover, below a chaos of diving gulls, an underwater ballet of seals and sea lion hunting a school of anchovy. All this astonishing beauty and wildness unfolds, not in some remote corner of Howe Sound but rather in Bowen Islands “front porch”, busy Deep Bay.
Seals amid the gulls tell me something is happening below the surface
Sure enough, a sea lion in pursuit of a school of anchovy
Right beside me, a seal arches upwards through a school of fleeing anchovy
There is a mesmerizing choreography between hunter and hunted
