Extreme seagull steals GoPro camera in Cannes, treats us to bird's eye view
Seagulls are annoying bird brained creatures - beach vagrants with a tendency to pilfer picnics and poop on heads. This seagull in Cannes, France goes one step further, making off with some electronics and filming his proud heist. The enterprising seagull thieves a GoPro video camera and absconds with it to his secret hideout. The comedic shouts of an enraged human fades as the bird takes to the sky. Upon reaching his roost, the gull cackles like a madman, perhaps mocking the victims of this theft. And then...he tries to eat the camera, destroying his credibility as a filmmaker. Somehow the owner of the camera tracked down the displaced gadget and retrieved this strange video.

Good point. Seagulls pick up big clam shells, flight high in the air & drop them on the solid wet sand & rocks to break the shells open. So, the seagull would probably drop the camera to try to crack it open to see if food was inside & then someone else found it. Good point.
