A second piece of artwork in the style of anonymous street artist Banksy has appeared in a Fenland town in the space of a week. 

The image was spotted by a passer-by and depicts a bird with what appears to be a paper bag covering its head. 

The identity of the artist who created the picture on the corner of Salters Way, between McDonalds and Tesco, in Wisbech, remains unknown. 

Resident Tom Squire said he spotted the painting near his workplace on Wednesday, May 14. 

It comes after a painting resembling the style of the critically acclaimed artist appeared on the former premises of a convenience store in Park Road

The charming image depicts a Jack Russell Terrier on a lead trying to retrieve a stuffed toy trapped in barbed wire above a building. 

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, May 13, a passerby snapped a picture of a similar piece which appeared on a crumbling wall at Twenty Foot Bank, March

And in June 2024, a painting resembling the style of the critically acclaimed artist appeared on the A47 between South Brink and Elm Hall

The piece depicts a young girl wearing a gas mask and was found by a lorry driver in a lay-by.
