A well-meaning rescuer brought what was thought to be a baby hedgehog to a wildlife hospital in Knutsford, Cheshire, only to discover it was actually a bobble from a hat.

The hospital manager found the mix-up amusing, highlighting the importance of taking distressed hedgehogs to a rescue if found out in the open during daytime.
