I've still got an egg collection myself Jim,it's all legal I even got the local police out to check everything and date it just when it became illegal..I was gonna gift them to Keswick museum as they had a decent collection but decided against it lol..I have been offered canny money for them but like you said each and every egg tells a story and a part of my life and I can even recall my mother taking mme nesting when I was a wee un..I loved the game :-)

Your spot on Jim..what was once rare are commoner nowadays but many of the once popular such as Blackcaps,Linnets,Redpolls,Reed Buntings Etc ain't nowhere near as abundant as they once were infact I can't even recall the last time I sen a Blackcap?..and a Tree Sparrow lol..we even have an Osprey up here but not a fecking chance you'd find a Tree Spuggy haha
