Hi All,
Just found the birdforum. This is an urgent call for opinions on which Bins might be the best for birding in tropical rainforest (very wet and humid), mainly in regard to power, field of view and birding in dense vegetation. I'm starting a research project soon in rainforest fragments on the Atherton Tablelands (Queensland, Australia). I'll be observing foraging behavior and habitat use and was thinking 8x42 might be best for that. But, will also need to read color leg bands and was thinking 10x42 might be best for that. Currently leaning toward 8x42 Nikon venturers (LX/HG) because they would be easier on the checkbook (remember, I'm a student on a tight budget :C ) than Swarov ELs, but SLCs are a possibility.
I need to buy the bins in the in next week, so quick responses would be VERY APPRECIATED. Wish I had found the forum earlier!!!!!!
Too bad the Nikon SE aren't waterproof, they look like a great bin for the price.
Thanks, Tony B
