    Hen Harriers

    Tragic news - again! It is now time to think about the withdrawing of gun licences to some gamekeepers and landowners until they they can look after OUR wildlife! Perhaps a conservation exam to enlighten these mentally challenged people might help. This should be backed up with really punitive...

    Spanish Pyrenees, Steppe & Plains Nov 05

    Hi - This time of year, wind chill is a major factor! Even when the wind was not howling or blowing it was well worth going for the full clothing 'layer' approach, plus gloves and hat so you can adjust according. Stout boots with nice thermal socks helped as well. Depends on how much you like...

    Review by 'ropaled' on item 'Fieldscope ED82A'

    Price includes Nikon stay on case and wide angle eyepiece, inclusive of P&P. Shop around I think price can now be a bit lower. Excellent piece of kit. Certainly competes (even betters) with anything else currently in the market.

    Have just bought 10 x 42 and they relly are superb. Heard from fellow birders that 8 x 42 are also brilliant. Far better than anything else on the market for your money. cheers.

    Hello

    Just joined the forum and have been a birder for yonks. Have just purchased a NIKON ED82 scope. It really has the wow factor! This really is a FANTASTIC piece of kit and I love the idea of the extra glass piece to keep out the garbage when changing eyepiece! Plus it saved me a shedload...
