Hope you’re staying on top of things and not letting the lock-down get to you. Mr GBH has the right idea. He’s executing a fine balancing act and in doing so, seeing things from a different perspective.
How I would love to be able to fly up there and keep an eye on the whole neighbourhood from a really safe distance.

Hope your Easter is filled with pleasant surprises, Sylvia.
We are going to the beach to try and go for an “essential” walk (while maintaining social distancing). 😯
Sounds perfect, Nancy. Enjoy the sea air. 🙂
Wow! Fab shot!
Thanks. 🙂
Acting like a trusted lookout. Stay safe.
Hi, Frank. 😃 Hope all is well with you.
😊
I bet he can see quite far from there!
Thanks, Aletta. I’m sure he misses nothing. 😃
😊
I’m with you and GBH, Sylvia — a little perspective and balance goes a long way. Sending warm wishes to you.
Thanks, Jet. Stay strong, both you and Athena.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have no cares in the world just like Mr. GBH?
Maybe he sometimes wonders where his next meal is coming from. 😳
I wonder?
Mr GBH on top of the world…. I’ll say, fine balancing indeed! 🙂 xoxoxoxo
Thanks, dear Marina. 🙂 xx 🙂

It’s utterly amazing he can balance on those tiny branches. He looks quite impressive up there, too.
He does look impressive. Like king of the castle. 😅
He is definitely top of the class! Sorry, I’m doing Becky’s square top challenge and see tops everywhere! Great photo Sylvia. Hope you are keeping well, and the family. Must be quite scary for them.
Thanks, Jude. Yes we’re all doing fine hunkered down in our various parts of the world. I would have linked my photo to Becky’s challenge, but couldn’t for the life of me work out how to change a photo from rectangular to square on my Apple Mac. I gave up in the end. 🙄
Good to hear!
An interesting post indeed and a timely one …
I think, most of us under lock down are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to fly 🙂
As we enter the third week of lock down in India, I believe I have made the best use of it so far …
Reading books, working out after years of planning, spending time at vegetable farming and of course back to blogging 🙂
Hope, things will take a positive turn soon and humanity will learn a few lessons from this pandemic …
Hi Sreejith. Good to see you again. Thanks for your lovely comment. I hope as do you that things improve soon. 😃
Hahaha isn’t that amazing.. 😉
Yes it is, Lisa. 🙂
Giving you a good idea of where to go for the best view!
Fabulous photo Sylvia!
Thanks, Eddie. 🙂
Oh wow. That is a true balancing act!
I agree, Colline. Quite a neat party trick. 🙂
A good thought
Thanks, Derrick. 🙂
Goodness, what sights you see!
I also keep a look out. 🙂
I’m sure
He looks like the sentry on Lookout Duty! 🙂
I’m sure he sees a thing or two from up there. 🙂
I can imagine he does!
It does look precarious.
Thanks, Amy. He knows his amazing balance will keep him from falling. Also, having wings is a bonus. 🙂
That’s quite clever and I bet he can do it without even thinking about it.
Thanks, Carol. He makes it look so easy. 🙂
Quite the balancing act and on those spindly legs! Fortunately, I can get out and go for walks which keeps me sane.

Thanks, Janet. My ‘spindly legs’ take me out walking every morning. It’s become mandatory for hubby and I. 🙂
Not YOUR spindly legs, silly, GBH! But I’m glad you’re getting out every morning. I alternate mornings with walking and yoga, although I get a reasonable amount of walking and lifting done with unpacking, housework, and the like!
I do laugh sometimes when I read “GBH”, as in Britain at least at some time, that meant “grievous bodily harm” and people got arrested for it in books that I read. 🙂
We do a 3 mile round trip every morning, so are keeping fit and have even lost a bit of weight, which I don’t need, but hubby does. I think we’ll keep it up even when the gym reopens. Yes, housework and shopping also burns the calories. Mr GBH’s beak can really do some grievous bodily harm to the poor fishies. 😢
Mr GBH is on the right track! 🙂 great capture, Sylvia! 🙂
Thanks, Lola. He is very adept at what he does. 🙂
It looks like he spend no effort to stay balance on the thin branches. That is so cool.
Thanks, YC. I think he’s very cool indeed. 😎
He is an acrobat! As for me, I am going a little stir crazy, so I do need to heed the lessons of his fine balance. 🙂
Thanks, Lynette. Maybe climb a tree. 😅
Mr. GBH has learned that life is a balancing act that allows for amazing possibilities. Thank you Sylvia and Mr. GBH for reminding me that when I embrace a “balanced” approach, I will be able to see the world is a broader, more wholistic way.
Thanks, Rebecca. We can learn so much from watching our wild friends, and I’m not talking about the neighbours. 😀
Excellent.
Thank you. 🙂
Imagine if we could have a view like that whenever we want.
I know that i wouldn’t mind it, Drew. 🙂
Those must be sturdy branches to support such a big bird!
They do look rather flimsy, Lavinia, but obviously he knows his limits. 🙂
He must! I’ve seen squirrels come crashing down when they have miscalculated. 🙂
Haha. Maybe the squirrels aren’t quite as smart, and definitely not as elegant as Mr. GBH. 🙂
He definitely has the right idea perched up there on high. You are blessed to have so much dazzle to entertain in your back yard.
Thanks, Lisa. I’m very fortunate indeed. 🙂
