Sky News presenter Michelle Clifford was reporting live from Rome on the latest developments in the coronavirus outbreak in Italy earlier this day when a big seagull landed on the railing behind her shoulder.
Although the reporter appeared to flinch, she was not distracted by the bird a lot and went on after a remark: "Seagulls are prolific here in Rome."
After the report was finished, a news anchor said: "Michelle and seagull, thank you very much indeed."
After the video was shared online, netizens came up with their interpretations of the funny episode.

Stock markets may be falling, parts of Italy may be in lockdown. But, for one seagull in Rome, this was his opportunity for 5 minutes of fame, and he wasn’t going to pass it up... pic.twitter.com/DSibsIScvC
