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? ☀️💛🙏

Ah @ENKELIthat’s tough! Cheeky Sam escaping his cage! I think the same as you- I hope he found a girlfriend and is flying high amongst the trees.
Got something to share with you though, so when we have been walking I have not seen any galahs yet. Guess what we saw this evening! Galahs!! Thought of you and thought while writing this I wonder if this was a sign from Sam to you, I kind of feel like it is 🥰🙏💜

I even included the day stamp of my pics too ☺️. Pic quality not too good was dark so they aren’t the best but still cute 🥰

 grooming each other

The first one giving themselves an ear scratch whilst getting groomed 😅

@Chasingsunsets this is Cindy. She keeps my mum company now, so she is helping my mum.

We have several different bird species in the park. The main one is ducks, they love to sit in the middle of your driveway, to make it hard to park your car. But I love it when they have their chicks and you can watch them walk on the road with all the little chicks following the mother duck.

I can hear kookaburras, but have never actually seen one yet, and I have seen what I think are some rosellas flying around. There are a few more different species, but I have no idea what they are called. Oh yeah, and we have maggies occasionally as well. There is one bird that starts to sing around 5.30am every morning, and if I am awake, I don't mind it, as it sounds nice.

I saw a koala in a tree when we first moved in. And we have 6 kangaroos that live in an enclosure. But as I went to the post office today, there were four kangaroos in the playground area, so we get wild kangaroos paying us a visit from time to time.
