The special moment was captured by wildlife photographer Mark Sisson, from Newport, Shropshire, who spotted the charismatic bear showing off his disco moves on the ice.

Recalling the moment he managed to snap the furry diva, Mr Sisson said: 'The 'dance' lasted only a few seconds before he went back onto all fours and rather sheepishly returned to Mum.'

Making a disco-friendly circular motion with its left paw, the bear's 'special shimmy' as Mark described it, happened twice as the large animal joyfully boogied away with the bird.

After all its dancing and showing off, the tired bear headed back to his mother for a well deserved rest.
