Smile Greetings from Chester

Hello all
Just registered 5 mins ago, i live in Chester in the North West of England.Im originally from Belfast but settled in England after 16 years service in the army.I am now a postman for my sins,anyway i have always had an interest in the world around me so to speak and was watching the programmes on tv and thought the pieces on birds and ornithology was great so here i am
Going out on friday, tommorow to get a pair of binos ,i fancy a set of Bushnells any tips?

Re: Greetings from Chester

Hi Stronty, a warm welcome to WAB. I'm another one who doesn't know much about binoculars as I haven't bought any in years, my Vikings are still going strong after more than twenty five years hard service.

Hi Stronty and a very warm welcome to WAB. Check out the Review section, I'm sure it will help you in selecting a pair of binoculars.
