Hi all,
I thinking about getting a pair of Nikon Sporter 8x36 DCF binos for birding, has anyone who wears glasses got experience of these?

Peter,

I can't help you with personal experience, but the tech data I found say the eye relief is 20.5 mm, which should be enough to allow the majority of glasses wearers to see the entire field. If you can, I would highly recommend trying a pair in person. Fit and feel are very important, and it would also allow you to see how they work with your glasses.

Clear skies, Alan

Sound advice, thank you Alan!
 
I have bought a pair and they are the best that I have used whilst wearing my specs. I love these little Nikons, and at that price I am considering getting another pair in case anything ever happens to them.

I also own a pair of Opticron Oregons and some Olympus Porros.
But the eye relief is far better on the Nikons.
