Seagull swipes camera, shoots film, becomes YouTube sensation

A filmmaker whose miniature camera was apparently swiped by a French seagull whose feathered getaway was caught on video, swears the YouTube hit isn't faked.

The video shows a gull snatching the spy-sized camera before flying off and landing on the top of a nearby castle.

All the while, the video camera is rolling and captures every moment, including the gull's squawks as it lands to finish off its purloined prize only to peck away in vain as it discovers the electronic device is inedible.

The footage has already been watched nearly 300,000 times.

But despite being shot at Cannes - home of the world's most well-known film festival - the producer protested he was just in the right place at the right time, and had to climb a castle wall to retrieve his gear.
