Sad news from Kincraig.  At least her final years have been spent enjoying her luxurious new Highland home.  BBC News - Polar bear Mercedes's health 'failing'

We saw the bears when we visited the park during our husky watching weekend in Aviemore.
The older bear was sat by a hole in the ice on the lake. Every so often she'd stick her head in the water. I imagine that it was behaviour she'd learnt while she was in the wild.
The younger bear spent his time pushing a plastic drum along the ice. He did look like he was having fun.
Every so often he went over to the older bear but she chased him off.

I need to get a bigger lense for the camera.
