A squirrel behin the tree!

Come and see how clever that Robin is peeping at the squirrel from behind the Aloe tree.

Mother nature teaches me many things and I always try to pass the lessons that I learn on here in my posts.
I am one of those that does before he thinks and my recklessness got me in trouble so many times. Once I was so intent on getting a photo of a queen bee that it riled the tribe and they started to swarm around me. I jumped into the dam clothes and all. Luckily I dropped my camera on the bank before I jumped in. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I am allergic to bee stings.
At times recklessness comes at a costly price.

The Southern Robin-chat (Cossypha caffra) knew that the squirrel would turn his back to look at me.

So carefully watching, the Robin tip toed toward the food.

A last glance by the Robin to check things out.

And the Robin's care was rewarded and he started to eat.

I stood in the same place making slight movements to keep the squirrel's attention until the Robin had his fill and flew off.

So what is the lesson here from Mother Nature to us?
Only smart and careful people think before they do, or say for that matter. How many times have you said something wrong to someone?
How many times have you done something on instinct and rued it afterwards? Impulses are dangerous at times and I should know as I am a champion in all of these mistakes.
So the message is that we should be as clever as this Robin.

And That's All Fiends.
