The Viking Optical Kestrel ED 10x42 are a practical companion for clear and comfortable viewing of #birds and #wildlife.
From identifying distant birds to enjoying fine plumage details, good optics make every field experience more rewarding.

For the last few months I’ve mostly been wearing my new Haglöfs L.I.M Airak GTX jacket. This first summer mainly working out which layers work best with this ultralight summer goretex jkt. Bottom line is that it’s a great addition to my #BirdingGear and will be my main summer birding waterproof.
Get the best out of autumn #birding with the best gear from #SwarovskiOptik!
That’s it! Stuff the kids! Get yourself new scope 👏🏼
If you haven’t seen the posts on these scopes then in Bluesky search #BirdingGear Balance and they’ll come up inc my review 👇🏼
I’ve still got my Leica APO 82 for seawatching, but never going back to a non-stabilised for general birding.
A wee clip of this morning’s Buff-breasted Sandpiper. You can hear by the noise how windy it was but not a bit of shake/vibration thanks to the stabilisation on the Swarovski ATB 65 (with iPhone 14 Pro). This wee Swaro scope is just the business for a windy place such as Westray! #BirdingGear
Compact, lightweight & incredibly easy to carry, the NEW Kowa SV III #binoculars are designed for #birders and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
A wide field of view makes it easy to locate & follow birds for a relaxed and immersive viewing experience.
ÂŁ for ÂŁ, the @rspb.bsky.social Sparrowhawk 8.5x42 & 10x42 are the best #binoculars we have seen - EVER!
With ultra-sharp clarity, wide field of view, superb ergonomics and weighing just 700g they provide premium optics without premium prices.
