If the bird moves before the glass gets on it, it's back to the Mk 1 eyeball to update the cue.I don't think it matters much whether the FoV is 6* as in my 10x or 8* as in most 8x glasses, if the bird moves it is out of the field.The IS feature of the Canon 10x42 is very helpful in this regard, because one has a steady view of the bird, it is easier to follow or at least to discern in which direction it scooted off to. Sometimes that is enough to stay with it.</blockquote>
