A tourist holidaying in Spain's Cies Islands got more than he bargained for when a thieving seagull made off with his camera and captured, literally, a bird's eye view of the coastline.

Now whether the bird wanted to hop onto the selfie bandwagon or just wanted to help the tourists with some incredible footage, its actions have created quite a stir online.

The tourist, YouTube user Martin Lozano, shared a video to tell the world what really transpired between the bird and the GoPro. The video shows the camera lying unattended on a parapet, recording the seagull a few paces away. Seconds later, the bird, sensing its opportunity, steals the camera and flies off with it. 

It's during this flight that it captures some scenic beauty with the still-recording camera. 
The bird does its job and eventually returns the camera to its rightful owner and flies off. "You're welcome, human," it must have been thinking.

The human, in turn, does his job. He uploaded the video on YouTube for the rest of the world to enjoy. So enjoy you must:
