A Wealth of Expertise

Sherwood’s have been amongst the finest purveyors of astronomical telescopes, binoculars and all manner of related products for over sixty years. As a family business, we have passed on our depth of specialist subject knowledge through three generations, creating a peerless legacy in the supply of precision binoculars for bird-watching, wildlife  watching, and many other activities, as well as astronomical telescopes, which we have supplied to thousands of keen amateur and professional astronomers over the years.

As our business and family are inextricably intertwined, we take special pride in maintaining the absolutely highest standards of customer service and the most comprehensive product range which reflects the most recent technical developments in our particular field.

We can therefore just as easily advise you on the best infra-red night vision equipment and wildlife cameras as more traditional products for viewing the heavens and the beauty of the natural world.

Although we love to chat to customers in our Warwickshire showroom we realise that it s not possible for many of our customers to make the journey to see us so we strive to maintain the same professionalism and personal service for our internet customers.

Therefore, as well as providing the exact same standard of advice and guidance to our online customers, we also ensure that all payments are safe and secure and next-day delivery is available on most of our products.

We have a passion for our business and feel privileged to be involved in the provision of premium products which bring the wonders of nature and the sublime beauty of the stars closer to the common man.

Terrific for Twitchers

The United Kingdom is a nation of animal lovers and some of our most passionate and dedicated wildlife enthusiasts are birdwatchers, or twitchers. Bird watching has consistently been popular for generations (at least in the sixty – five years we have been in business at Sherwood’s Photographic!) but has become even more popular and celebrated in recent years, with celebrities such as Bill Oddie emerging as enthusiastic and knowledgeable twitchers and great exposure for the leisure pursuit becoming apparent on TV, in film and on the radio.

The image of the twitcher balancing on a tree limb in an anorak with a pair of binoculars dangling from his neck has become a popular cliché but nowadays all types of people from all walks of life enjoy bird watching and as enthusiasts become more professional in their pursuit, the demand for more sophisticated equipment increases rapidly.  Manufacturers of binoculars began to realise that specialist bird watching binoculars were in great demand and Sherwood’s photographic has one of the greatest selection of bird watching binoculars available anywhere.

We stock precision products from prestigious manufacturers such as Opticron, Meopta, Vortex, Nikon, Camlink, Bushnell and Swarovski, amongst many others. For novice and experienced bird watchers, investing in a decent pair of bird watching binoculars is essential, and for a very reasonable outlay, we can provide enthusiasts with binocular sets which provide clear, sharp images which capture all of those magical breathtaking moments of spiritual communion with nature.

Night Surveillance

Night vision products open up a whole new world by allowing hunters, wildlife observers, game spotters and those carrying out any type of surveillance work to operate around the clock. Binoculars with a nocturnal operational capacity allow the observation of animals such as bats and foxes, which are not usually spotted in daylight, as well as the sometimes strange and exciting behaviours of other animals that reserve their most secret behaviours for the midnight hour.

Of course, for hunters, night vision products such as binoculars and scopes allow for an extra layer of camouflage and challenge as they pit their stealth and skills against the highly developed senses of animals that, unlike humans, are almost as comfortable in the dark as in daylight. Even if hunting is not to your taste, spotting game such as deer, which are naturally sensitive and difficult to observe at close hand, during the night time, is a unique and privileged experience.

Don’t forget that as well as binoculars and scopes, we have automatic nocturnal photographic cameras and video cameras which can capture and record the most amazing images of animal nocturnal behaviour. Fantastic firms such as Yukon, Newton, and Pulsar offer amazing monoculars, binoculars, goggles and gun sights which utilise digital night vision technology and are surprisingly affordable.  The images which these  amazing products make viewable are crisp and clear, with none of the blurred and obscure imagery sometimes associated with the early days of nascent night vision technology. For expert advice on all nocturnal vision products, please contact one of our expert advisers now.

Magic in the Skies

The night skies have fascinated human beings since the dawn of time, and have been the inspiration for thousands of scientific and philosophical treatises as well as for countless breathtaking works of art. Astronomy has now become a scientific pastime which attracts many amateur enthusiasts as well as professional experts.

At Sherwood’s Photographic, we have been supplying binoculars and astronomical telescopes to stargazers for over sixty-five years, and we continue to supply customers with the latest innovative cutting edge products. Although astronomical binoculars may lack the magnifying power of astronomical telescopes, they are still powerful enough to clearly reveal some of the most interesting and awe-inspiring heavenly bodies and astronomical objects.

Our selection of binoculars for astronomy includes products from legendary manufacturers such as Celestron, Opticron, Helios and Ostara. Of course, some of our flagship products are our astronomical telescopes from Bresser, Celestron, Meade, Tal and Skywatcher.

We also have a great choice of beautiful brass library telescopes which look stylish and stunning but are fully functional as they have height quality fully coated optics. The Skywatcher range is fully endorsed by legendary astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and makes skygazing affordable to everyone.

If you are completely new to astronomy, we can also offer literature on how to make the best start in your pursuit, such as the excellent Stargazing for Beginners.  Astronomy is a fascinating and enjoyable pastime which can be enjoyed by all age groups and there is always something novel to discover in the night skies.
