    Cyprus in early October

    Hi, I am visiting Cyprus for the first time in autumn (heading out for a week from the 4th – 11th October) and, although not a birding holiday (I’m going with a friend and his wife who are not birders!), I will definitely still be taking my optics, so will no doubt try and fit some in! We’ll be...

    Swarovski replacement parts?

    Hi, I recently lost the rubber ring from one of the eyecups on my Swarovski 8x30WB bins. I've found a few sites online that supply replacement Swarovski eyecups, but the £25 quoted seems unreasonably high for a small piece of rubber to me. Can anyone recommend a good place to try? I literally...

Any opinions on whether...
