A mum says she couldn't believe her eyes after looking to the sky and seeing what appeared to be the classic Sesame Street character, Big Bird.
Mum-of-three Karen Harman spotted the likeness during a trip to a local beach last month with her husband Jim Harman. The sight of what appeared to be the 8ft 2 bird took them both by surprise, and Karen knew she had to get a photo before it drifted away.
The huge cloud formation looked to be the absolute image of the beloved yellow muppet, who had been Karen's favourite character as a child, from the fluffy outline of a feathery head, to the beak and shoulders.

She says she has a 'strange addiction with cloud formations' (Kennedy News and Media)Absolutely stunned by what she was seeing, the 51-year-old pasta-making teacher, who has always been fascinated by cloud formations, took a snap of the uncanny formation. She's since shared the pic online, where it's clocked up more than 11,000 likes, shares, and comments.
Karen, from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, US, said: "For some reason I have a strange addiction with

I'm forever looking at clouds.
"I was sitting at the beach on a chair looking out at the ocean and noticed the cloud looked just like Big Bird. I pointed it out to my husband who said 'oh gosh, you and your clouds', but he agreed it looked like him."
She continued: "As quickly as you see a cloud, the formation disappears. My phone was readily available to click away. When I was young I remember watching Sesame Street. Big Bird was my favourite."

Her husband agreed there was a strong likeness (Kennedy News and Media)A number of Karen's followers were left equally amazed by the fluffy apparition and agreed that it certainly looked very much as though Big Bird himself had come to pay her a visit.
One fellow Sesame Street fan approved: "Big Bird at the beach!! What could be better?"
Another approved: "That's brilliant."
A third wowed individual simply commented: "Uncanny."
