'Amid the grave reports of devastation from areas of Australia ravaged by bushfires over the summer came a glimmer of hope in late January 2020. Some 20 lyrebirds were photographed taking refuge around a dam on a property near Wollombi, New South Wales, on the edge of the Yengo National Park. By this time, almost all the park had been burned by fires that had raged for over a month, and BirdLife Australia estimated that more than half of the known habitat of the lyrebird had been burnt. Soon after, scientists estimated that at least a billion animals had perished in the bushfires of the ‘Savage Summer’. The lyrebirds photographed at Wollombi were among the survivors.'
