Hi all,

I am after some suggestions for a particular scenario. We have quite a few birds in our garden - about 10-20m from where we sit. We want good - up to £200 - pair of binoculars.

I have an omegon monocular mini monostar 8x20mm and a celestron skymaster 15x70 long eye relief FOV 4.4°. The monocular has good - to me - optics but is too small width of lens for the intended scenario. The celestron has a good width of lens, the optics are ish but the zoom is too much and it weighs a ton.

Could your collective wisdom suggest to me: something with a similar width of lense as the celestron; good optics like the omegon and suitable for 10-20m distance please?

I'm new to all this so apologies if I have my terms incorrect. Thank you all.
