(probably) Because the thing has feedback - if it is disturbed from where it 'wants to' be then it will wiggle the stabs to get back there. It may have flown through a little turbulence and be reacting to it. Same thing happens on a lot of FBW aircraft, to varying degrees.

Also possible that the pilot is, for whatever reason, slamming the stick about!
