I&#8217;m not sure if i could call myself a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookebondcollectables.co.uk\/cardlist.htm\">collector<\/a>, but i have since gathered up a few other ranges, my favourite being &#8216;Wild Birds in Britain&#8217;, printed in 1965 as part of a 50-card set. The british wildlife painter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecharlestunnicliffesociety.co.uk\/\">Charles Tunnicliffe<\/a> did most of the bird sets. I&#8217;m currently on the hunt for some of the very pretty Wildflower sets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salvagesisters.co.uk\/?attachment_id=1489\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1489\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1489\" title=\"IMG_6630\" src=\"http:\/\/www.salvagesisters.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/IMG_6630-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tullyroan.com\/salvagesisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/IMG_6630-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.tullyroan.com\/salvagesisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/IMG_6630-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tullyroan.com\/salvagesisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/IMG_6630-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.tullyroan.com\/salvagesisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/IMG_6630-460x307.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.tullyroan.com\/salvagesisters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/IMG_6630-688x459.jpg 688w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although i didn&#8217;t realise it at the time, the cards were distributed in Brooke Bond tea packs, later known as the familiar PG Tips.
