Hi all 😁 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).
This week’s Fan Of… is scurries. Scurries is Scots for seagulls (Doric dialect — north-east). This is also my post for Susan’s Things in Scots (TiS).
Most view scurries as pests but I find them amusing. We see (& hear) them a lot on the way to work each day. They can usually be seen in small groups chuntering to one another, then one says something funny & they all throw their heads back & laugh like crazy 🤣
Wherever you go near water & there are posts sticking up, there is usually a gull on one 😂
They can be grumpy looking…
…but the young are quite cute.
These 3 were definitely plotting something…
…until they realised we were there & one decided to fly around us…
…& landed behind us & tried to pretend it wasn’t up to anything 😂

Oooh… I like the one strutting between the lines … even though I am kind of afraid of gulls, I think.
Here is my fanatical post of the week: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/05/30/im-a-fan-of-cosmos-2/
I know people do get attacked by them for food; fortunately it’s never happened to me 😂
Scurries is a good name 🙂
It does fit very well 😊
They look like so many Shags on a post. “Cormorants “
