I wasn't going to buy a new scope just yet, but some good fortune on the work front just had to be celebrated, and having looked at some of the options and read all the discussions on here, I thought I would check if Warehouse Express still had the Nikon offer. They said they had "one left on the shelf - might be more in the warehouse..." so I decided to go for it - angled body and 38x eyepiece.
I took it to Kenfig yesterday for its first outing and in the space of a couple of hours I saw a magnificent hen harrier, circling low over the pond, followed by about half an hour of a bittern stalking around in the open, right in front of the South Hide - even caught quite a large fish for us. Add to that the Redhead that seems to have taken up residence, all the usual pochard, tufted duck etc. - a very nice Sunday morning. Problem is, next time I use the scope I will expect nothing less...
Thanks to all the people who have posted on here with info about the Nikon, Warehouse Express etc. - I might well have missed out otherwise. And Warehouse Ex. are fantastic on the service front - highly recommended!
