This Monday a seagull hijacked the London Transport camera, and the footage capturing the bird's antics were a hilarious treat for Twitter. London Traffic News tweeted a picture of the seagull appearing, more like photobombing one of the traffic cameras and Twitter was flooded with funny as well as punny reactions. The camera was placed in the north of the Blackwall Tunnel, and it was super cute to see the seagull look into the camera like it owned it! The caption, "Happy Monday accompanied the picture…" that was posted by @TfLTrafficNews on Monday. By Tuesday afternoon itself, the tweet had grabbed a lot of eyeballs. It had received more than 1,500 retweets and over 7,000 likes. Most of the responses were super hilarious and the picture very soon started a pun battle in no time. Drunk Seagulls Rescued After Being Found 'Confused And Disoriented' Near Beaches in Southern England.
However, on Tuesday the seagull made a comeback and the account posted a photo of the bird once again with the caption, "Guess who's back?!" And NO that was not it, the seagull seemingly in love with the place came for the third time to the traffic camera and this time @TfLTrafficNews posted an 11-second long video with a funny caption that read, "Due to popular demand, a quick update from our reporter just north of the Blackwall Tunnel....." This tweet garnered more than 12,000 retweets and 37,000 likes, and you have to watch it to believe it.

It's a pun fest
You're so gullible to take the A102 Blackwall Tunnel today. Make the right caw, and wing it over to the next bridge. https://t.co/hVuKOkeBgE

The seagull has now become a Twitter celebrity and rightly so. Also, this is not the first time a seagull has taken over Twitter. A few days back, a seagull snatches a baby turtle on 'BBC's Blue Planet Live', leaving people shocked.
