Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Speaking of waxeyes, one of the words in yesterday's Waffle was "pipit" - which I got wrong. I assumed it was "pipet", and as a result, I couldn't get a perfect score. "Pipit" was a new word for me, so I looked it up, and then I learnt about passerines, and how it included waxeyes/tauhou.

I like when random things like that lead me down a rabbit hole of learning.

Omigosh thank you for sharing "pipit"! I have this really weird memory of seeing what I thought was a super odd thrush/sparrow cross down near the Kaingaroa forest and I bet this is what it really was!
