June 30: Bear on 10 meters!

Several Moose, plenty of good Beaver sightings, howling Wolves and a close meeting with a Brown Bear in Hälsingland, a very successful 5-day tour with this year’s first clients traveling with NatureTrek.

This female Brown Bear turned up in front of our hide and stayed there for a good hour, leaving excellent photo opportunities for our group.
