Although I've recently bought 'Bushnell legend m series binoculars,' which are superb, I wanted something slightly more compact for our 7 weeks abroad this year. I'm a birdwatcher and very careful to research fully.
I tried out equivalent models of other makes: RSPB, Bushnell, Nikon and Meade. All performed well and quite honestly I couldn't choose between them for viewing and quality. I eventually went for the Hawke nature trek 10x32 on build quality and ergonomics.
Can't wait for our holidays now!
