Hi
Recently ,ive picked up
birdwatching again , and i think i want to invest in a mid price-range spotting scope + tripod + the attachment to the scope itself . Usually , the observations i tend to do are in the ranges between 50 and 300 meters, mainly waders and seagulls by the seashore, but also some other birds , like hawks , eagles , ducks ....
The observations will tend to be static , but sometimes i would take some longer walks to changes spots .
I tend to do birdwatching beetwen early morning and midafternoon, but normally with the sun already up in the sky.
I live in the northwest part of spain , so the water resistance of the scope is quite relevant to me . Also , this part of the country tends to have a cloudy weather and mid light conditions during great chunks of the year.
I would like a 20-60x80 or something in those lines .
Previously, ive used the Vanguard endeavor 82A , and honestly i would like a scope with a little bit more image quality, if possible.I know that i cant expect a magnificent image , the only thing i want is a good enough quality image fo bird ID , nothing fancy strictly needed at the moment (obiously it would be highly aprecciated)
Ive been looking at the new Diamondback HD 20-60x85 , but ive seen in a post here that the brightnees isnt good enough for birdwatching
My total budget for the scope is around 700€ or less.
Greetings and thanks in advance .
