Notes: In a story that clearly predates out recent findings about the link between dinosaurs and birds, landing his time machine at the wrong place in the past, a pilot called Collins accidentally removes all bird life from the earth. But that's just the start of the story. He goes back to get another rock sample, but what will have changed when he gets back this time? And who placed that original mysterious rock on our planet? And why won't they try to get the birds back? - Ger A.
