Birds 4ever
Is it just me or do non-birders see rare birds you
Hi, I'm only 13 but go birdwatching alot - now I'm desparate for new binoculars.
At the moment I'm using 8 x 32 binoculars NOT MADE FOR BIRDWATCHING(it was only decent one in our house when I started birdwaching), and it is incredibly heavy, and poor in dim weathers(I once mistook a dunlin for a common sandpiper - that's how blurrly and not bright it is).
My pocket money savings won't be able to afford good brands but less than 500 pounds decent one would do for me.
But the problem comes here - do people prefer magnification of 8 or 10?
At first my choice was 10 because I have problems seeing distant birds, but then, because I take birdwatching very seriously it's obvious I'll be buying a scope soon - that way I feel 8 is enough magnification.
What brands do you recommend? I'm currently thinking about RSPB HD binoculars as I've tried them a few times in shops and is very good, as well as affordable.
What do you think?
