Advice on Binoculars Please



Please dont think I am not being lazy, Ive searched for the information I am looking for, but because of certain issues I have, I thought it best to ask my questions pointing out my needs.

I am looking for a new pair of binoculars. I like watching Raptors as well as my own garden birds. I need the most lghtweight I can get, as I cannot hold them up for any length of time. As I live in Lancashire, I am assuming I would need waterproof ones. I Birdwatch purely for pleasure, therefore I cannot justify paying the top end for a pair. However, it is a hobby I really enjoy and would appreciate any advice that you think would be suitable for myself. Thanks you. Sorry, forgot to mention, I only have very small hands


Hi Sally HP

Of those I have personally tried I like the RSPB 8x32HD's, small light and very good optically. You don't mention a budget but hopefully less than £500 is within reach?

As ever you will need to personally try any recommendations - Leighton Moss may be near you if you do want to try them.

Thanks for that Nev. I was only thinking yesterday of taking a trip to Leighton Moss. I think your suggestion if my best bet. Thanks again.
