Hamish, Luka and Nobby enjoy the Spring

4.5.2025 – Photos by Pat Waldron

The Spring has arrived in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and the meadows are filled with nice flowers. Hamish, Nobby and Luka love the scent of them.

Smelling flowers can be rather exhausting so Hamish went back to his ‘residence’ ….

… and decided to have some quality napping time. 🙂

Even the Napland is very nice this time of the year! 🙂

Nobby went for a walkabout in the enclosure.

In these photos you can see the polar bears’ enclosure has grass, trees, bushes, stones … in other words a perfect place for walks.

Of course, Nobby wouldn’t be Nobby without a chilling hour! 🙂

Luka was amazingly white when Pat visited the park.

I’ve heard white fur is ‘hot’ this season!

Knowing he’s a gorgeous polar bear Luka wanted to admire himself in the water mirror.

  1. Hallo Pat,
    die drei Bären waren on bester Verfassung bei deinem Besuch, obwohl man eigentlich nicht schlafen soll, wenn Besuch kommt.
    Danke für die schönen Fotos und die lustigen Kommentare, liebe Mervi

  3. Dear Pat!
    I’m glad to see the photos of the working bachelor group of polar bears at YWP. All three look great and are enjoying life in the spring. I love the pictures of the sleeping male bears Hamish and Nobby. Luka also looks very good in bright white.
    Thank you very much for showing!

    Hugs

    • Dear Pat and Mervi
      Thank you for the chance to visit Project Polar One. I wonder if there are any plans to find new residents for Project Polar 2? Perhaps Brodie and Otis?

  4. Vielen Dank für die tollen Fotogrüße von den drei prächtigen Eisbären Hamish,Nobby und Luka, die den Frühling genießen… 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️👌🌞
    Nach einem Spaziergang durch das satte Grün, darf auch ein Eisbär der Frühjahrsmüdigkeit nachgeben und so ein Nickerchen in der wärmenden Sonne genießt auch ein Eisbär gerne…
    In diesem Frühjahr scheint ja wirklich die Farbe ‘Weiß’ mal angesagt zu sein…😉
