Wild North [29/02/2000] (Wild North)
Discover the fascinating true story behind Philip Wayre's Otter Trust which helped save British otters from extinction in the wild.
In the 1960s Philip Wayre was the only person in Britain breeding otters and releasing them into the wild. He even resorted to buying back otters from coypu trappers. At one point coypu trappers were setting 3,000 traps a night in Norfolk, and many of them caught otters by mistake. Coypu were eradicated in the wild in Britain, but otters are beginning to return.

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.
