    John & Ruby's Autumn Adventures

    Again, a thoroughly enjoyable read!! I’ve been working at home, spending most every hour renovating our property, after packing in my job as a Head Chef 13 months ago. I’ve managed to get one day birding every week during this time and now I’m done till till January. My good lady doesn’t want...

    Opticron BGA Classic 7x36

    These are the ones… a call to Stuart at Opticron may be helpful, they sometimes have old stock for tea pairs that they may part with.

    Swift Audubon HR/5 10x50

    Hey Patudo, They are indeed quite a bargain, I cleaned them internally last night and they’re bright and sharp. I currently use Swift 820 ED most days and a lightweight HR60R scope set up … LOTS of trail and error have led to this and it works for me. This time of year down in West Cornwall...

    Swift Audubon HR/5 10x50

    Focus is a little gritty, but they’re free from haze and fungus, collimation is spot-on to my eyes. The diopter is working as it should. They were absolutely filthy but after a very good clean they’re very nice optics. It’s not the day for these in Cornwall as we’re getting hit hard on the South...

    Swift Audubon HR/5 10x50

    I took delivery of a pair of Audubon HR/5 10x50’s today. Pretty ropey cosmetically buy after a good clean they’re good to go. Bright and clean internally with a few small cleaning marks around the edges but for less then £30 I’m a very happy birder. The spring loaded insert is missing from the...

    Cleyspy Mulepack - Internal storage issue/ design

    The way the main zipped compartment is organised is similar to a wash bag that you’d hang on a hook, it’s designed to be opened fully and hang down to access…hence half of it is filled and accessed upside down.. imo, that doesn’t work in use, which makes the internal design pretty pointless.

    Cleyspy Mulepack - Internal storage issue/ design

    I love my Mulepack but you’re right, the main zipped pocket is hugely flawed. I carry an Opticron HR 60SR with a SDL V2 wrapped in a Skua case on a Velbon Sherpa Pro CF and it works a dream, very comfortable and quick to get on a bird. A hide clamp lives permanently on the bottom of the centre...

    Product Review: The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 8 x 42 Binocular

    I joined here a week a or so ago to possibly become part of a community and hopefully learn from others. All of the above is an absolute disgrace. I’ll stick to walks with my bins and books and leave you fellas to squabble. Adam
