Britain's most notorious egg collector dies in 40ft fall from tree

Britain's most notorious illegal collector of rare birds’ eggs has fallen to his death after losing his footing as he climbed a tree in a Yorkshire wood.

Colin Watson, 63, a father of three from Selby, was three-quarters of the way up a 40ft larch near Campsall, Doncaster, when he slipped and fell.

Poetic justice, I suppose.
