Saw the above
BROWN BEAR Ursus arctos yesterday in Slovenia's Dinaric forests. Watched it for 50 minutes. A wild animal. A lifer. The biggest European carnivore. Impressive. Amazing. Thrilling.
Also close to the bear a male Black Woodpecker
Dryocopus martius, Nutcracker
Nucifraga caryocatactes, upland forest bird mix and a
Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos earlier in the morning. Evening rounded up with a rutting Red Deer
Cervus elaphus.
