Seagull flies off with GoPro in Spain, takes stunning aerial video

VIGO, Spain, July 13 (UPI) -- A tourist visiting Spain shared video of a thieving seagull grabbing his GoPro and flying away with the still-filming camera in its beak.

Martin Lozano, who posted the video to YouTube, said he set down his GoPro camera to record footage of a curious seagull in the Cies Islands and the clip shows the bird briefly investigate the device before grabbing it in its beak and flying away.

Lozano and a companion can be heard shouting at the seagull and briefly appear to be chasing the bird before it takes a brief flight.

The seagull takes the camera airborne, filming a unique aerial view of the island's cliffs.

The seagull soon returns to another section of the same ledge and sets the camera down for long enough to allow the humans to reclaim it.
