Polarizing filter with binoculars (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I frequently watch birds at the sea, at lakes, rivers and ponds. The sun is often reflecting over the water so I can´t see the birds that good. An old angler trick is using Polaroid sunglasses which enables them to look in the water. Some binoculars so as the Canon IS have the possibility to use objective filters. I ask myself if polarizing filters would give me a better view and if sunglasses with polfilters will do this job as good as objective polarizing filters will do. Do you have some experiences with that?

Steve
