I paid twice as I hit the pay button but left my reg number in, when I got back to the car Leanne said, did I put her car reg in as she was driving her car!!! 😤😤

Glad I wasn't the only one !!!!!

Interesting thread. Ive been using some big old cheap second hand ones (bought from an old dear in Wimborne when her hubby died) and some RSPB (cost an arm and a leg) ones purchased in the last few years. The old ones are almost as good as the RSPB ones but cost less than a twentieth of the price. I tend to use the RSPB ones for their size more than their performance. Ive checked out some of the binoculars mentioned above and they all look great. I do like the thought of image stabilisation tho because with age i seem to shake more especially when trying to catch a bird (feathered type Jim) whether through binoculars or camera.

Ditto Mal I am in big trouble for belly laughing at the joke as I read it out to my wife word for word 😁😁

You've already caught one. I met her. 👍

HOW much trouble are you in? 😄😄 You forgot to mention the damage to the front seat from the socket set & welding kit as they empty their handbags.

Hi Charlie No problem. Nikon Prostaff P3 10x42 7.0 Waterproof ( Not Saltwater Proof) Actually, just put them next to my RSPB ones and they are the same height but thinner. I guess that makes them compact!!!!! Miss sold again !!!! I will still bring them along though Greg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
