    Crested Barbet (Trachyphonus vaillantii)

    I took this photo of a Crested Barbet (Trachyphonus vaillantii) perching on a tree in Harare, Zimbabwe - I just love the colors of the bird, blue sky and the yellow berries he was eating.

    The Most Beautiful Binoculars in the World

    Hi Gaman, Whilst as you say, you have already read my review of the 10x42 Carson 3D on BBR, I thought I would add a few more personal comments here. I am sorry that I can't help you in regards to comparing them to either the Zen Ray ZRS 10x42 or the Sightron Blue Sky SII 10x32 as I have not...

    Mid-level WP compact suggestions

    Hi Brd, Like typo in an earlier reply, I would recommend the Minox 7x28 IF that I have fully tested and reviewed for a number of reasons: The are waterproof and even though the single bridge and very exposed barrels make them look flimsy, when I tested them, I thought that they would be about...

    Wow lovely - incredible action shot, which must have been very difficult with such a large tele?
