With our trip being marketed as 'Birds and Bears', it would've been a little remiss if we'd not rendezvoused with a least one during our time in Transylvania.... as it happened we watched 13 (!) - including mums and cubs of various ages, and rogue males and females (lots of drama....) - and as you can see from the photos, the experience was unforgettable.
Several metres away from us for over well an hour, exhibiting all manner of behaviour and tomfoolery, in true Transylvanian forest wilderness. Perfect!
