Hey There,
Would like to start off by saying how glad I am to have joined the forum.
Anyway I'm very new to bird watching and I am looking to buy my first pair of binoculars, now I am a student and so therefore am on a very, very tight budget (£50).
Is there anything half decent I can get for this?
A couple I have been looking at:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produ...EBINOCULARS.htm
http://direct.asda.com/Celestron-Up...default,pd.html
What's the difference between the top link and bottom link (bar the saving of £13?!)
Somebody also suggested these:

Feel free to suggest any items from Argos, Tesco Direct, Asda Direct, Amazon etc
Or would a telescope be better?
Thanks very much for your help!
Cheers, Rob
Welcome from the other side of the pond......are you anywhere close to a shop that handles some binos? If so, the first thing to do is head there, handle & look thru some. That'll give you a pretty good idea of where to start. Opinions here will vary widely, and after you've had a chance to examine a few of different powers, size, etc, you can narrow it down, then post your considerations here, and see what everybody sez.
