Oversight from treating things as a lark for example? (5-3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

birds-eye view

'example?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'oversight from treating things as a lark' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'lark' could be 'bird' (lark is a type of bird) and 'bird' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for birds-eye view that I've seen is " Panorama seen from above".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
