If you are a beginning bird watcher, you probably aren’t ready to invest a whole lot of money in your equipment yet. So, if you’re just starting out and you want a pair of binoculars, here are some fairly inexpensive models that are still high quality bird watching binoculars.

The Acuter RP Binoculars is an ideal starter pair, offered at only £20.00. These binoculars offer very good optical performance for the price. They are stylish and compact, and feature black rubber covering and a chrome bridge. They also come with a neck cord and a binoculars case.

If you can afford to spend a little bit more and you want a slightly nicer model, you might prefer the Konica Minolta Classic II Porro-Prism Binoculars, offered at only £70.00. These offer many high performance features of higher end binoculars but come at a much lower price.

These feature large exit pupil diameter, high image brightness, and a multi layer optical coating. A really good quality pair of binoculars for a fraction of the cost.

Another good choice in a less expensive pair of bird watching binoculars are the Optical Hardware HG Series, Elinor binoculars. With fully multicoated lenses, waterproof body, and high resolution these binoculars are ideal for bird watchers who go out in all kinds of weather. They are offered at only £95.00.
