Lots of discussions as to what happened to cause the jet to carry out such a manoeuvrer - Official Spanish AF Twitter said the pilot was avoiding birds etc

Can you imagine if this happened during an airshow in the UK!

You can clearly ssee the birds in the video, I`m not convinced rolling inverted was the best choice of manoeuvre, but then I`m not a fast jet pilot.They reacted as they thought best,but it does look iffy flying towards the busy beach.
