Daniel Lingham, pictured inset, 71, had served two prison sentences for illegal egg collecting - in 2005 and in 2018 before he was caught on a wildlife trap camera stealing two eggs from a nightjar nest in 2023.
He was identified in the footage from Holt Lowes in Norfolk, on June 9 last year, by his distinctive walking stick, and thousands more eggs were found when police searched his home in Newton St Faith, Norfolk.
Josephine Jones, prosecuting at Norwich Magistrates' Court, said Lingham "said he could not help himself due to his addiction to collecting eggs".
He was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months.
