Nothing could stop veteran news anchor Peter Hitchener of Australia’s Channel Nine News from delivering a serious bit of news. Not even a giant sea gull walking up behind him:

Ever the professional, the news stalwart only mildly flinched on
noticing the seagull but later told 3AW radio the studio cameramen hid
behind their cameras to hide their laughter.

"I was reading
away, and it was a serious story, and I suddenly thought, ‘Oh my gosh
that seagull’s back again’, because we had bit of a problem last
night,” Hitchener said.

"About 50 seconds to 6 o’clock this
seagull arrived and started pecking at the camera and it had the
beadiest huge eyes you’ve ever seen in your life.”

    Emphasis on the “burdened.”

    Mildly amusing at best.

    Maybe if it had involved some sort of groin injury, it would ahve been funnier.

    The poor bird! I can only imagine the horror of having tiny newscasters invading my environment! I would peck at them too!
