…. as we were in our tent and he asked me what we should do and I said we should do nothing and
Mr or Ms Bear can do whatever he/she wants to do. It hung around for 20 to 30 minutes and then
moved on.

Did you take that picture through your window? Great image. You can see how smart they are
from that picture.
