Hi there,
With one of the biggest events of the year approaching rather quickly, I thought I'd pop in some basics and suggestions for anyone attending Birdfair 2012 at;
Rutland Water Nature Reserve, Egleton, Rutland, LE15 8BT.
(Postcode's are always handy..)

Opticron Aurora 10X42 Binocular:
Designed and manufactured to be smaller, lighter and sharper with a wider field of view and better close focus compared to any previous BGA model, the Aurora delivers the ultimate balance between size and weight, resolution and field of view currently attainable from this roof prism format. The optical design doesn’t just reduce the overall dimensions and finished weights of the Aurora but delivers 6.5° field of view with stunning resolution guaranteed at under 4’ for each and every binocular. Close focus is under 2m.
Manufactured using a new lightweight alloy body and protected from heavy use and the elements in a beautifully finished textured rubber covering with patented shock-proof rubber objective lens protection, the Aurora feels very special in the hand, is perfectly balanced and comes with a focusing set-up other binoculars can only aspire to.
Other features include:
• Fully nitrogen gas filled waterproof construction to a depth of 5m.
• Internal focusing 540° rotation allowing precise adjustment with sub 2m close focus.
• The highest quality roof prisms featuring Oasis prism coating and phase correction coatings.
• New Opticron S-type multi-coating that allows both models to achieve the highest possible clarity & colour contrast in the widest range of light conditions from early morning till dusk.
