TREE FALL KILLS No1 EGG THIEF
Nest raid plunge
By Karen Bale
BRITAIN'S most notorious egg thief has fallen to his death from a tree he was climbing to rob a nest.
Colin Watson - once described as "public enemy number one" by wildlife chiefs - died after falling 30ft.
The 63-year-old had a string of convictions for stealing rare eggs and had been fined more than £4500.
Father-of-three Watson had seen the majority of his collection of 2000 eggs confiscated in 1985.
It contained the eggs of endangered birds such as golden eagles, ospreys, red kites and sparrowhawks.
Watson later appealed, saying most of the eggs had been taken before the practice was banned but his collection was not returned.
He gained fresh notoriety in 1986 when he tried to cut down a tree with a chainsaw in Loch Garten, Speyside, to reach an osprey nest. Watson, of Selby, Yorkshire, died on Wednesday after falling in woods near Doncaster.
Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious.
A spokesman for the RSPB said: "It must be a great shock to his friends and family but he was a notorious egg collector. Hopefully some birds will be a bit more secure now."
