Sorry Cliff but that is a somewhat silly question. I, for one, can honestly say 
I have never collected bird's eggs in England in the 60s! I never collected 
bird's eggs anywhere. More to the point, I can honestly say that I have never 
done anything in England. I have never been out of Australia. So what? Nothing.

Mainly in my school age days in the 1970s, I did collect feathers and various 
other things and have a permit for it and never harmed a bird in doing so. I do 
recall seeing egg collections in the 1970s but I was never interested in doing 
that. Even then the habit was frowned upon. I suspect that the issue is now a 
minor one in the majority of cases.

I have removed the "?" in the subject, because I can't understand how "Egg 
Collectors" is a question.
