Sorry, after 25 years of nurseries I couldn’t bring myself to swear, but I can categorically confirm the answer to that rhetorical question!
I may not have actually seen a bear today but whilst taking a stroll around the Zabola estate, the hotel we are staying at tonight, Charlie Ottley (Wild Carpathia filmmaker extraordinaire) pointed out “well there’s proof of bears, fresh poop!” They’re obviously trailing the wild deer that ran across the hillside in front of us!
Tomorrow hopefully there will be actual bears! It’s definitely turning in to a bear hunt!
