    I bought some brand new Praktica Sport compact binoculars from Ebay a few years back They have been to quite a few rock concerts with me, as well spied on a lot of birds in the garden & have been dropped a few times. They are still going strong, so obviously capable of surviving some knocks.

    How nice that your young daughter wants to watch the birds. They give a lot of pleasure, especially when they are feeding their young. They are really facinating little creatures & it's lovely to be able to watch them up close through binoculars. :)
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
