    Hi, I’m a long time reader here but haven’t posted before. I was birding at burnham overy yesterday and had a small number of female Goldeneye on the sea. With them however was this one with an all orange bill. I’ve not seen this before on Common Goldeneye but know it is a feature of female...

    atm65 non-HD with 30x

    Hi all, i have a quick question about the atm 65 non-hd scope in relation to the HD version. i understand that the HD version of the scope gives clearer and sharper views than the standard model, but is this most noticeable only at the top end of the zoom range? (eg 50-60x) im wondering...

    HR or HDF fixed eyepiece for gs 52 ed?

    Hi laurie. Good to see a fellow f1 fan on here! Although there is a drop in fov as you zoom in, I don't think anything of it as I use the zoom to just zoom in on something specific I've found while scanning when zoomed out. The zoom is just so convenient for me. When I want to see more I can...

    sporter 8x42 or monarch 8x36?

    Hi all, thanks for the responses. they seem to confirm what i suspected that the monarch is the better option. im thinking i will pay a bit more and get the 8x42 monarchs now though. i worry that if i got the 8x36's i would often find myself thinking 'what if i'd just got the 8x42'. i only...

    sporter 8x42 or monarch 8x36?

    Hi, i'm a new member here looking for some advice. im in need of a good pair of bincoulars for general birding. my budget is £200 max. i think i've narrowed my choice down to two Nikon models. the Sporter 8X42 and the Monarch 8X36. (i was also thinking of the bushnell H2O 8x42 but the...
