Watched gannets diving every evening when on holiday in Portugal last summer. Even from a distance so they're little more than white dots they dive so fast they appear to have been sucked into the sea as if by a vacuum or an electro-magnet. You can't believe that gravity alone could be responsible for that acceleration. Mesmerising.
