It was shot by Bowen Island kayaker Bob Turner and shows a giant "bait ball" of anchovies that he happened upon in Howe Sound.

It's an "Anchovy ballet" as he dubbed it, where seals, seagulls and cormorants are dancing for their dinner as their potential meals do the same, somehow in harmony.

The really good stuff starts at the 1:40 mark.
