Allan Dyche
A 58-year-old UK grandfather, Allan Dyche, was recently arrested and prosecuted for illegally collecting wild bird eggs.
North Wales police raided Dyche’s home and uncovered nearly 500 wild bird eggs in an upstairs bedroom. Eight endangered eggs including a cirl bunting, avocet, crossbill, red-necked phalarope, red-backed shike and three merlin eggs were found in the collection.

Dyche plead guilty to one count of possessing eight eggs of rare wild birds and also plead guilty to possessing 466 wild bird eggs. He was sentenced to 12-months and 80 hours of community service. He will be electronically monitored during a 28-day curfew between 8:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. and was ordered to pay nearly $100 in court costs.
