Binos advice sought...
Mini c00ps (10yo) is getting very interested in wildlife spotting when we're out and about. Plus we have some amazing mature trees almost outside her window. I normally take my Nikon Monarchs with me (bought ages ago as a grey import when they weren't ridiculous money they are now). But she wants her own also and I'm on board with that. Clearly I won't splurge on ED glass, etc. But has anyone bought or is aware of anything that has decent low-ish light performance bang for buck? We often go out for a walk when I finish/get back from work, so it can be on the verge of dusk (we have a owl perch nearby also) and are at RSPB Sandy at least once a month. I was looking at 8x42mm. RSPB bod was trying to flog me some of their own brand Puffins the other day - but suggested also Opticrons or Vikings for budget performance. Roof or Porro prisms both fine.
