Hi Birdbrains,
My wife wants some binoculars for Xmas to check out the birds when we are out in the country. I want something that is decentish for a beginner and around £100 mark.
I've been looking at Nikon ones on Amazon and there are a few there in that price range. Am I better off getting 8x40 or 10x50, or something else. And can any recommend any others brands that are better value?
In return I'll give you this (probably obvious) bit of birding advice. If you want to see Red Kites, go near Thame in Oxfordshire, UK. I guarantee you'll see loads, often about 50 yards in the air in groups. It's actually scary.
Cheers
Geoff
