Australian newsreader Peter Hitchener had to keep his wits about him last night when a gigantic seagull invaded downtown Melbourne.

As Hitchener was reading a story about police efforts to solve a 27-year-old murder, the gull stole the show, walking across a projection of the city. Hilarity ensued for everyone but Hitchener, who understandably didn’t want to crack up while he read a murder story, and who did a good job of standing up to the bizarre mega-gull.

From news.com.au:

“I was reading away, and it was a serious story, and I suddenly thought, ‘Oh my gosh that seagulls 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.”
