What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

@Glisten We used to have a cow and calf, as well as goats but our block gets too wet in Winter, so we run out room and feed. So we got rid of them and have the paddock for the Roos exclusively. We have a large family of them living at the back.

And yes duck eggs are tasty, so are Guinea fowl eggs, and junglefowl eggs, although a lot smaller than duck eggs.

@REDLINEZ750 i cant speak for the Irish Wolfhounds, as I have the Russian Wolfhounds (aka Borzoi). They definitely do shed. But not as much as a husky! (My borzoi-cross sheds heaps, because of his cross-breeds have super extra fur). Birzoi fur is so soft 😊, where as the Irish Wolfhounds i have patted are more wiry. But some borzoi fur is wiry too... just not mine.

Hi @REDLINEZ750 great to see you on here, sorry I missed everyone’s post yesterday I had an early night- I was knackered!!

wow @DownMoreThanUp I love everything you are sharing!! You have so many cool things!! Love all your birds and finches! All amazing!! I love what looks to be the zebra finches I wonder if you have ever had Gouldian finches?
and the honey eater I haven’t seen that colour before!! I’d love update on the growth of those babies if you wanted to share!! Are they the same like other honey eaters that if 2 babies hatch one of them try kick the other baby out for more room? Hope not they are beautiful! But I guess nature is nature too right! Hope mum and dad built the nest big enough for them both!

Love your eggs don’t think I have ever seen the size differences, I did know the geese ones would be on the bigger scale. Which eggs are your favourite or do they all taste the same? Lol. (I have an egg allergy so I wouldn’t know what egg tasted like but I’m still interested hehe)

@Glisten haha I love that statement of ‘you’re a good egg’ to @DownMoreThanUp gave me a good chuckle !!

So sweet @Chasingsunsets I had a thought this morning where I was really conscious of just how much joy my pets bring to every morning. I don't think a morning goes by where they haven't made me laugh or smile, even when I'm really tired and they're being extra impatient for their breakfast I can't help but feel happier just for being around them.

Awww my sweet @Bunniekins, having friends like that is the best isn't it, I'm sure she treasures the friendship so much ❤️. Your children sound like amazing people, they are lucky to have such a wonderful mum like you ☺️

Great photo @Chasingsunsets!

@Bunniekins Glad you have someone in your life that you can turn/talk too.

How old are your children?

@Ru-bee I think my dog knows when I am down. I think they can sense it. She always gives me cuddles.

After yesterday, today's highlight is that my day is quiet and boring! I can just stay curled up on the couch without any drama involved.
