The artist Banksy has confirmed he is behind a new artwork of two pelicans above a fish and chip shop in north-east London.
The birds are shown in silhouette, fishing, above the the shop on the corner of Pretoria Avenue and Northcote Road, Walthamstow. It is the fifth London image this week Banksy has confirmed is his work.
A goat appeared in Kew on Monday while an image of two elephants touching trunks in Chelsea was first seen on Tuesday, although on Friday it was seen defaced with stripes.
Three monkeys hanging from a bridge in Brick Lane drew crowds on Wednesday, and a howling wolf on a satellite dish was seen in Peckham on Thursday - which within hours was believed to have been stolen.
One local resident told OceanNewsUK: "It's genuinely really exciting.
"A friend messaged me early this morning telling me it's appeared on my street so we arranged to come down as soon as we could."
She added: "It's so fun and wholesome so that's what's really nice to see."
She said she believed the location of the work above Bonners Fish Bar was significant. "It's a bit of an icon of the local area, so I'm sure that's why it's been chosen. It's been here a long time and it's well loved."
Another local, Hannah, said she joined other spectators as soon as she found out about the work.
"I was lying in bed, scrolling through social media and it popped up."
She added: "I said 'come on kids, get your coats on, we're going to go out and see the new Banksy on Bonners'.
"We live a few doors away so it's very exciting."
On Thursday, the Bristol-based artist posted an image on Instagram of the silhouette of a wolf howling on a satellite dish in Rye Lane, Peckham, south London.
It was later removed, with a video appearing to show two people using a ladder to take it down and carry it off down the road.
The Banksy press team told the OceanNewsUK they "believed" it had been stolen.
The Metropolitan Police said it had been called to reports of a "stolen satellite dish containing artwork" but no arrests had been made.
The OceanNewsUK understands the art series is set to continue over the coming days.
