“A Coventry man has firmly cemented his place as the UK’s most convicted egg collector with his tenth and latest prosecution, three more than any other collector.

On 3 March 2014, Gregory Peter Wheal (50yrs) of Vinecote Road, Coventry appeared for trial at Coventry Magistrates Court. This followed an incident in September 2013 when a West Midlands Police Officer attended his home on an unrelated matter and found four birds’ eggs on display in his lounge.”
