A rainy day at last!
![358.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/6Z4ky0sV-358.JPG)

The Jackal Buzzard hunkered in the tree tops looking for prey that were running around seeking shelter from the rain.

We came out to the mountains to see if the fire, that we have in the mountains over the past week, has crept over to our side.
What I love about rainy days is that there are no people out and we have the entire landscape to ourselves.
Come and walk with us!

I think that I told you it was a rainy day and the wind started to blow the dark fire cloud sideways above the mountains.
![374.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/lB0DJHSf-374.JPG)

Here the Jackal Buzzard (Buteo rufofuscus) took off and he must have spotted something below the trees, as it was too far off for us to see.
![345.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/n4ja62P1-345.JPG)

As you can imagine, during the rain not many birds were out and we were blessed by this "African Stonechat" (Saxicola torquatus) and his wife enjoying the rain.
![307.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/VgRQ3xSk-307.JPG)

Look how beautiful his wife is and it is not often to get them together as a couple.
![320.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/kr8rxrsk-320.JPG)

A real lovely little lady methinks.
![322.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/qanq2NJc-322.JPG)

The guy decided to perform a happy dance in the rain.

Finally, the dark cloud in the middle mountain peak has taken on a much lighter color and the rain was helping the fire fighters.
![260.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/papilloncharity/j7LpySV1-260.JPG)

Todays news about the fire is that it has now destroyed 13600 hectares of veld and some unreachable areas were left to hopefully burn themselves out.
You can read todays news about the fire here:
[Source](https://www.iol.co.za/capetimes/news/stellenbosch-fires-affect-13-600-hectares-bd77092f-6cb7-4624-b5ec-a60f18cdb4cc)

So yes, the brave firefighting teams continue to work in shifts battling the fire and thankfully air support is also available.
The weather today has broken the very hot normal conditions which should do well to finally distinguish the fire.
We shall wait, pray and hope.

And That's All Friends!

Note: All photos are my own and taken with a Canon Powershot SX60HS Bridge camera.

We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.

Great to hear the fires have been dowsed, these runaway bush fires are so destructive!

Great sightings with the birds sitting a little more still than usual with the rain around Stephen.

I take it lockdown level 1 will last for a month or so, politicians need to get out and about politicking again, so come Easter the new implementations will come into affect once again, call me cynical but that is how I read into things 😄

!BEER to celebrate the fires hopefully extinguished!

@papilloncharity · 
We had 14000 fires in total in the year 2018 ending March 2019 and I have not looked at the 2020 stats yet.  By now the our fire-fighting teams work in total synch with the relief teams from other towns.
Thankfully "Working on Fire" is also around and their planes and choppers are a great boon to reach the inaccessible areas.
So yes, it seems that we have become a fire hot spot.

I think that the birds were just as surprised as us about the rain 🤣

Oh yes, a quick political burst and there is already talk of the third wave arriving in April.
Such is life.

Sorry, no beers or wine left my friend.

Too many fires of late one hopes if done through negligence or on purpose people start to be held accountable.

Pandering to politicians and all the bullshit they serving up one can only hope eventually some form of democracy will eventually be realized. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday, yest the wine and beers run out too soon!

The buzzard looks great, Zac, the other birds are lovely too.
But the best news is that the rain will help the firefighters to stop the fires.

@papilloncharity · 
Great news Lady Melinda, no smoke today.
The weatherman said that it would be 24C with rain today, but this morning he changed his mind, as it is back to the heat with 27C and no rain.

Thankfully it seems that the rain did the job yesterday and we are waiting for feedback.

Thank you kindly for the POINTS tip and I think that you can see that I have a thankful heart today.

All that I can give you is a !BEER, as my wine is finished.

Blessings!
