Once I arrived, I was greeted by this lovely young bird who was perched on the rail. The gender isn't really obvious but I think this one was a gull because she was hanging around trying to impress the buoys.
She had a good laugh over that one.
Perhaps not.And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a Post of the Week - either as top post or as a runner up.
This week's top post is an important cause for the blog author. It isn't something I can help him promote in the way that he might hope or expect because I share neither his background nor country, but I respect this blogger and want to help in his cause.

I always knew gulls had a sense of humor ;)
Thanks for the POTW mention. Can't wait to read the others - they're always good!
Thanks for the chuckle with the bird with the sense of humor preening for the buoys. Ha. Congrats to the wonderful blogs who earned POTW awards.
Thanks for the POTW, Hilary. In fact, I'm smitten with appreciation.
Thank you, Hilary. If I have given you and some of your readers a laugh, my work here is done. :)
oh you are a funny one....
and yes, i'm sure that was a young gull.....
Hilary! You're the best!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Love your play on words Hilary AND as ever your great photos. Many new links for me to check out. Thank you.
As you said, you clearly have too much thyme on your hands.... love all the reccos and your photos as well
I love the picture of the Seagull. I guess there is a beauty to them. Here in Seattle they are as thick as flees and one cannot eat a french-fry without being harassed. I am afraid the feathery fellows have slipped into the same category for me as crows or flying rats.
I like your new categories for posts of the week. Good idea.
Thanks.
Hee hee...I love your humour! That's a great photo of the gull squawking!
Boy, you've got a lot of "Gull" for posting that word-play. Thank you, thank you for more goodies to read!
great shots! i had fun surfing the recommended blogs ~ so fun to find a few more to follow.

Wow. Thank you so much! I'm honored.

Thanks for the POTW honors. I'm double honored to have been selected twice now.
Wonderful pictures once again. And spot on with POTW listing, some very good finds there!

Oh gosh... thanks for the mention! I've always loved Laurel and Hardy and simply couldn't resist posting the clip. Someone certainly had fun editing it and sharing it with the world.
Happy Week-end!

I enjoyed reading them all Hilary. In fact, this batch was so good that I got an idea for a post out of it. It will go up on Monday. I'll send you the link in case you get a minute to spare...
Meant to say I loved your laughing gull....great shot.
Helllllloooooo! Thanks for the mention, Hilary, truly that's very kind of you.
I just got around to touring the POTW posts and as usual, had a marvelous time doing so. Wonderfully diverse selection, as usual.
Thank you for taking the time to do this week, after week. It's such a nice thing to have in a life.
"Hanging around trying to impress the buoys...." brilliant! How do you come up with this stuff?
Now I'm off to read the POTW's...
