Nature doesn't give a damn about your Instagrams.

While some consider a vacation in a faraway land an exercise in relaxation, we all know deep down that it's really just a chance to brag on social media with impressive photos from your trip. So when Tara Dalyntara from Thailand was visiting the UK recently, she needed to show off the scenery to all her followers.

After buying some ice cream at Brighton Beach, Dalyntara resisted immediately licking the cone for the perfect shot.

But directly after taking the photo, a seagull swooped in to steal a bite.

Dalyntara shared a side-by-side photo to Facebook on Saturday, which has since racked up more than 33,000 likes at the time of writing.

Of course someone then lifted this beautiful piece of content, attempted to pass it off as their own and shared it to Twitter, where it has since racked up over 21,000 retweets.

Bonus: 100 years of kitten beauty in 60 seconds
