Osprey Eggs 2 – The Oologist
The stunning beauty of osprey eggs was not lost on the old naturalists. There was gamesmanship of climbing to nests to collect the eggs. Osprey egg-collecting played a major role in the population decline in the 19th and 20th centuries. There were even journals devoted to it.
There are still museum cases full of old Osprey eggs in Europe.
