Wild North [24/03/2002] (Wild North)
A rare pair make their home in a tourist hotspot and draw crowds of delighted onlookers.
Reintroducing ospreys to the wild is difficult in England for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest challenges is the desirability of osprey eggs to human thieves, particularly collectors of rare eggs. When breeding season begins in Bassenthwaite, wardens launch a round-the-clock guard to prevent the ospreys eggs being stolen from their nests. The osprey breeding project at Bassenthwaite shown in this film was successful, and now visitors to the lake can see ospreys putting on an aerial display between April and August every year.

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.
