Scurries — Fan Of… #158

·

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).

Scurrie

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.

      I know people do get attacked by them for food; fortunately it’s never happened to me
