Birding for fun
Hi to all,
I have just received a gift of £300 and wish to purchase a new pair of binoculars. I have always had 10 x 50's. For the last 10 years had a pair of Minolta classics which I have been very happy with, but a recent accident meant that they are no longer functioning properly.
I would be pleased to hear views as to what are probably the best pair for birding within my budget. I could add a little more if it really made a big difference. I spend a lot of time using my bins, visiting the North Norfolk coast frequently so; good distance, light and quick focussing would all be important factors.
All opinions gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jono
