1st scope for digiscoping (1 Viewer)

Hi guys.

I'm an experienced photographer and I've been considering better options for getting closer to birds and other wildlife.

I've just spent a week with a friend in Scotland who was using a Nikon P1000 for general walk about bird photography.

This is quite an impressive camera accepting it's limitations. It got me thinking about using a digicope with my DSLR or smartphone. So interested to know if people think it's possible to get quality images with a scope?

So interesting in people's views and suggestions for a suitable starting scope? and how much you need to pay for something that will get you decent images, typical shooting times for me are early mornings and early evenings. but at the moment I'm not quite ready to spend over 1k on a scope just yet.
