Bunker are vegetarians, they feed on plant matter of all kinds. It is very common, especially on very calm flat water to see and hear them "flopping". I am pretty sure this is because they are feeding on pollen and other matter that is laying on the surface.
I have seen and heard this happening almost always at night.
