Banksy has confirmed a fifth animal themed artwork in London this week on the wall of a fish and chip shop in Walthamstow.

The piece which features the silhouette of two pelicans, was discovered overnight on the exterior wall of Bonners Fish Bar on Pretoria Avenue.

His third piece on Wednesday, depicts three monkeys seemingly swinging on a railway bridge in Brick Lane, east London.

On Thursday Banksy posted a picture on Instagram of a silhouette of a wolf howling at the moon on a satellite dish in Rye Lane, Peckham, south London.

But within hours the dish was removed and taken away from the scene.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed it received a report of a stolen satellite dish.

“There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue,” the force said.
