When I started taking an interest in birding (early 1980s, NW England) a friend of my Dad's 'donated' his old egging collection to me. I was fascinated, but other than a half hearted attempt with blackbird eggs it was not something I felt any appeal for.Have fixed that for you Andy.
No one in my regularly birding cohort (mid 40s to mids 50s) advises they indulged in such activities and I anticipate a similar response from younger age groups.
One outdoor pursuit we should be grateful TV / video games presumably killed off!
