    The Estuary is a large area so which part do we avoid or what trail names ? Near the Spit or not ?

      Do you think the bear knows the names of the trails ? Or maybe the cubs have n’t learnt which side is up or down. It’s her area at a time of high anxiety for the mother so why not just keep away for now eh!
