Some may say that Valentines’ Day is ‘for the birds’, but Mr. GBH takes his courtship very seriously as he builds his not-so–little love nest.
This is my entry for Debbie’s ‘Six Word Saturday‘.
Wishing you all a relaxing weekend.

He’s a real busy bird
Very busy indeed.
Handsome! May he sire a successful brood.
Thanks so much, Patti. I hope so too. 🙂
What a great picture of the ‘love sick’ Mr. GBH! He is keeping busy! I can tell you that I suspect our Mayor is doing the same thing, but on the bird island in the bay. I’ll need to take the boat there soon to inspect it all 🙂
Thanks, Helen. I’m sure your Mr Mayor is also preparing his love nest.
What a wonderful capture, dear Sylvia. Happy Valentine’s 🙂
Thank you so much. Happy Valentine’s to you too. 😘🌹
What a fabulous shot!
Thanks, Fi. 🙂
Pawsome! What a great picture, Sylvia. If he’s looking for a Valentine, I’m still available, the nest must be big enough for the both of us…MOL 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 ❤
Thanks so much, Binky and Granny. xx
It’s nice to se him being so industrious especially if it’s to impress a lady!
I agree, Gilly. 🙂
Lucky Bird woman, having such a great DIY man! ( Almost like you) 🙂
Thanks, Ute. Yes, much the same sort of guy. 😀
🙂
That is a wonderful capture Sylvia! Beautifully done
Thanks, Tina. 🙂
MAN, he’s looking GOOD! Fabulous image! We have a group here that nest in tall trees in a park, right by a dog run. Somehow, they aren’t bothered by all the humans and dogs at their feet.
He’s a really handsome chap for sure. 🙂 I guess your group have become used to the human and four-legged invasion and know that there’s no threat to them. 🙂
Yes, it’s all about habituation I guess.
I can only imagine the size of a nest needed to be used by a GBH! Such a marvelous capture of this lovely bird.
Thanks, Gunta. It has to accommodate Mr. and Mrs. plus the chicks too of course. 😀
A beautiful display by Mr. GBH, Sylvia!
Thanks, Lavinia. 🙂
Magnificent
Thanks, Derrick. 🙂

Awesome capture.He looks quite regal.
dropping by from 6WS
Thanks, Suzy. 🙂
Great photo, Sylvia. Mr GBH looks very intent on the job.
Thanks, Carol. It’s a job to be taken very seriously. 😃
Very striking photo of GBH … and so well caught with those magnificent wings and with all his building materials in his beak! Hope he finds his perfect match.
Thanks so much, Gerrie. 🙂
Awesome shot!
Thanks, Donna. 🙂
Building a home is an expression of true love!!
janet
Indeed it is, Janet. 🙂
Looks like a tricky challenge for him. 🙂
I thought so too, but I’m sure he’s done it before. 🙂
Marvelous capture.
Thanks so much, Sally. 🙂
With all the Carnival fun going on I almost forgot, Ad. Good thing I can rely on you lovebirds. 🙂 🙂
Haha. You’re very welcome, Jo. Have a good one. 🙂 xx
An awesome picture of Mr. GBH. A great capture of him. I am sure he will have a great Valentines’ Day.
Thanks so much, YC. I do hope so. He deserves it. 😃
Wonderful photo
Thanks, Marylou. 🙂
Really nice capture, Sylvia. It is extraordinarily rewarding to witness this part pf thr GBH cycle of life. Compared to the New England GBHs though, this seems to be the female of the mated pair, though. Are you certain of the gender? Whichever it is, a lovely capture! Best, Babsje
Thanks so much, Babsje. 🙂
😅 You’re welcome.
W.O.W!!!!
Thank you. 🙂
Wow! That’s a big nest for a big guy!
Yes, it is. I’m sure he’s planning on having a big family. 🙂
A magnificent image of a magnificent bird!
Thanks so much, Jude. 🙂
That is an absolutely wonderful picture, Sylvia. GBH looks so regal — just like in one of those Japanese paintings. What hen heron could resist a good-looker like that!
Thanks, Sarah. He’s a fine specimen of bird manhood. 🙂
Fantastic capture, Sylvia! He’s a handsome fella! ❤
Thanks, Jill. Glad you think so. 🙂 xx
You captured the wing span beautifully, Sylvia. The wildlife seem to be psoing for you.
Have a relaxing weekend …
Issy 😎
Thanks so much, Issy. Hope your weekend was a good one. 🙂 xx

Excellent capture!
Thanks, Nancy. 🙂
great shot
Thanks, Kelly. 🙂
That’s a fabulous shot!
Thanks, Amy. 🙂
Great shot indeed! I love to see his preparations – hopefully he finds himself a pretty lady.
Thanks so much, Ann-Christine. I’m sure he’ll find himself a nice lady friend. 🙂
Great photo! I loved watching the GBH’s build their nests during my Texas Gulf Coast visit last winter.
Thanks, Ingrid. They certainly work very hard. 🙂
