Swarovski ATC 17-40x56 | Buy Online at CleySpy The quality Swarovski ATC 17-40x56 is available from CleySpy with a wide range of accessories (other filter)- buy online at fantastic prices

The Swarovski Optik ATC may be tiny, but it really does have outstanding optics. At only 970g it's small enough to accompany you on any birding adventure and thanks to it's Arca-Swiss foot, it will fit securely onto any compatible tripod head.

One of the finest scopes in the World, the Kowa TSN-88A is one of our favourite #seawatching scopes. Pin-sharp all the way up to 60x, you'll never be disappointed by its performance - even when Britain's coastal climate throws its worst at you!

A large number of long necked birds are standing silhouetted on the ground. Slow shutterspeed renders many more flying over into impressionist silhouettes.

A 33 year-old pair of black, rubberized Zeiss binoculars on a wood table-top. They've seen a lot.

I'm thinking of finally replacing my Zeiss Dialyt 10x40Bs after 33 years (even though they still work fantastically...). I'm sticking with Zeiss, so who has recommendations (& pros & cons) between Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 & Zeiss SFL 10x40?

If you're considering your first upgrade to a 'Big Name' birding scope, you can't do better than the ZEISS Birding Gavia 85.
With pin-sharp optics and 30-60x magnification, you'll really notice the step-up.

I have the angled version. It's absolutely great in wind and makes a massive difference on a tripod in those conditions. Even in light winds, it's still a better view on a tripod with the stabilisation on, particularly when panning. The best scope I've ever used.

First winter/2cy Glaucous Gull

First winter/2cy Glaucous Gull

A good long walk yesterday down Blakeney Point with @mandymyers007.bsky.social proved worthwhile with a Merlin, Great N Diver and this beefcake Glaucous Gull on the end, which unfortunately got flushed before I could get some better pics, real chunky one with a colossal bill.
