Wildlife shelters are already overwhelmed by heat-stressed animals and birds. These fires don't leave anything much alive in their wake however so there are few hopeful animal survival stories. Most of the pictures taken come from animals affected by "controlled burns". I'm sad that Rowan is no longer with us. He helped see us through the last big fires. Such a sensible, calm and sensitive man with a clear understanding of, and a great love for, the Australian bush.
