Wild North [02/02/2003] (Wild North)
A fair chance you've never seen one of these rare nocturnal beasts which hide in British gardens.
The European hedgehog is a timid creature, and avoids human contact where it can. This makes the sight of a Leucistic or 'blonde' hedgehog an exceptionally rare one. The blonde hedgehog differs from the albino hedgehog, because its cream colouring is due to a recessive gene which gives them a light colour, rather than a deficiency of melanin. The albino hedgehog has red or pink eyes, whereas the blonde has brown or black eyes. Blonde hedgehogs are common on the Channel Island of Alderney.

Wildlife & Nature in the North East
A cornucopia of wild delights in this series of nature programmes from the North East.
Made by filmmaker and agricultural journalist Charles Boden, these films sought to capture the best of wildlife projects in the region. However, they captured so much more, from a controversial visitor attraction that was later closed down by the authorities, to the birth of the first new osprey colony in England. This series is a time capsule of timeless things.
