All too soon it was the last day of my visit to Marineland in August 2020. Thursday morning saw Flocke and her cubs back in the large upper enclosures.

After lunch the bright sunshine was getting really warm so I went back to see how Flocke and her three cubs were coping. While Flocke seemed to be watching for the keeper, her cubs were relaxing.

Seeing Ludmilas lovely photos of Milana and Nana as they are now, I thought it would be fun to share the family photos I collected from my visit in September 2020.

On the Wednesday of my visit to Marineland, Antibes, the keepers were cleaning the big water tank enclosure so Flocke and co. were in the “Mother and Baby” enclosure with its plunge pool.

Feeding three cubs at eleven on the Wednesday took a while. But by 1130 one cub had decided to bask in the sunshine.

Wednesday was proving to be a good day for seeing Flocke and her cubs together in the lower enclosure. The larger enclosures and their deep pools are behind plate glass windows which make them harder to film through.

I flew into Hamburg late on Tuesday evening. All the arrangements for my week in Germany were in place despite the Corona restrictions. I had been able to buy online tickets for each day.

It is some time since I shared my Marineland Album with you. Those amazing warm days in Antibes seem even more special on a grey January day.

Between 18 and 22 September I was able to spend my mornings with Katjuscha in Berlin Zoo. She will be 36 years tomorrow (16th of November) and is the oldest Polar Bear in a European Zoo. Despite Covid 19 I had to see her again.
