I live in a steep sided valley. The far side of the valley is about 1000ft away and is wooded with some meadow areas.
With my old 12x50s I can make out wood pigeons in the trees and can watch foxes in the clearings but not in any great detail.
I am thinking about 20x80 observation binoculars to bring me in a bit closer to the action. I would also use them for the odd bit of star gazing but nothing too serious.
Has anyone used anything similar or would a scope be better suited?
I will be using them on a tripod in my house so weight is not an issue.
