I want to buy a pair of binoculars for spying on wildlife but I have no idea what I'm looking for. What are good qualities/features to have in a pair of binoculars? What are some good brands? I'm only really after a cheap pair but have no idea how much you have to spend to get something worthwhile.

The Telegraph says these are cheap and good (£70 John Lewis) and these are cheaper still.
I don't have a horse in this race.

10-x-25

10×25 is a bit narrow and dark for nature watching, 7-8×40-50 is the usual recommendation.

There are Nikon Aculon models in 7×50 and 8×42 at under £100.
