Seagull takes a camera...and a dramatic selfie

Paul Heymont 7/18/151:00 PM

The video above is included here because without it you might not believe the story.

A Swiss tourist, visiting the Cies Islands off Galicia in Northern Spain, was filming a seagull on a cliff wall in the area, which is a protected national park, featuring some of Spain's most rugged seascapes. The video shows the gull watching, and then moving, and then snatching the camera.

After that, we see the video continue, with occasional views of parts of the bird, but mostly of the cliff face it's flying over. In the end, the gull dropped the camera, a Go-Pro video camera, on another part of the cliff and the owner was able to recover it...and post the video to YouTube.
