[peeping]

[Mary] Oh, my God.

There's your baby, Mary.

[all gasping]

Mary, come and say hello.

Say hello to your eaglet.

Oh.

Oh, you're just so beautiful.

Oh, bless it.

I can't believe it.

It's just beautiful.

Bless it.

All right?

- [Mary] After all this time.

- I know.

It's the first... All these

years you've been coming,

and the first time you've

actually seen one eye to eye.

[Mary] How old is it?

About five weeks.

That's it, now.

I can die happy, now.

[chuckling]

Sometimes I feel sorry for

the golden eagle birds

because they don't

really lay again.

So...

They're just flying

around all year.

There are no

chicks to feed.

Nothing to do.

And I can feel a bit

not right with that.

Because there's something

bearing that burden

that's riding on me.

That's why I got into egg

collecting, because I love birds.

But my favorite thing

in life is egging.

Taking birds' eggs.

It's just an addiction.

I can't help it.

[patriotic instrumental

music playing]

I could go up to Michael to challenge him.

I'm a wildlife authority.

Go up to challenge

him... "I think you...

I think you... I think you've got eggs in

your pockets. I'll have to check you."

He goes in his pocket.

He pulls a blade out.

It's in you. Is it worth losing

your life for attacking somebody?

First, never approach anybody

and never challenge anybody

if you think they're

collecting eggs.

Some girls find

me a threat, and

I don't mind that because it

just shows that I'm red blooded.

Because if a female don't

find you as a threat,

a bit of a threat, then it

means, like, oh, he's harmless.

And then they might be a little bit

suspect about where your sexuality is.

I will be nest finding

until I drop dead,

without a shadow of a doubt.

I like birds

more than anything.

????????????

I've just been brought up

with birds.

[John] That's where

your knowledge is.

And that's where

my knowledge is.

That's it. That's all I can

say, really, isn't it?

Yeah.

In Africa, they

would go to jail,

and the keys would

be thrown away.

What about little Ben Tarvie? I've heard

you've been making some big ideas

of what you want to do now.

So what do you want to be?

- What do you want to be now?

- A wildlife officer.

You want to be a wildlife officer?

That's a good calling, isn't it?

[Andrew] No, but I don't

want you being silly.

I don't want you

to be silly, Dad.

Stuff in the room.

Some of the egg thieves actually wonder whether

we just want all these eggs for ourselves.

Contrary to what some

egg thieves may maintain,

I don't have an egg collection and

have never had an egg collection.
