Spied with the Zeiss: A lot of wood warblers elsewhere but loved the long view of a male Northern Harrier hunting over this raised bog.

Very nice, i also like your eclectic setup with Leica strap and green Swarovski? Eyepiece cover.

That's the strap from my M5, prefer a thinner, more flexible leather for the camera but works great for the bino and the eyepiece cover is from the Zeiss 8X30 Safari which stays put much better than the one intended for the 10X40.

Not technically binoculars today, but one of the few monoculars I've found that I like. The original non-B Zeiss Oberkochen 8x30. Not sure of exact age but older than me (and in better shape 😉). Wide field and excellent resolution with a very good sweet spot. Minimal eye- relief but as a non-glasses wearer that's not a problem. Easily used one handed too.

Sunny day in the park, had great fun with the little KOMZ 6x24 Porro.

Just had an amazing sighting (for me) from sitting here at my computer desk - White-crowned sparrow landed on the lawn and I grabbed my 8x42 EDG and had a great look. It's a lifer for me (still a novice birder). They don't live here, it was likely a migrant heading north.

Sorry...no pics...I was pretty excited though. It pays to check the sparrows - I looked at hundreds of chipping sparrows & white-throated sparrows & song sparrows in order to see this one

I was apprehensive about buying 2 pair of binos in the same size - 8x42 - but I can see the benefit, now I can leave one in my office full-time for window action

volunteering with the RSPB today, I love the view with my Swarovski 8x32 ELs
must mention the height of the grass in front of the hide though !!!

Watching greylag geese, common shelduck, oystercatchers, heron, swans and a nearby red kite. Also spotted a cormorant behind me in the bay. Curlews and cranes to be seen here too, but not this morning

Baltic coast, south Denmark with my Kowa BD II 6.5x32.
