Edmund Whelan, Deputy Chief Executive of the RYA is a regular sailor and enjoys binswatching wildlife when out on the water. An essential part of any wildlife watching tool kit is a good pair of waterproof binoculars and Plastimo were keen for us to find a tester for Bushnell's Nature View pair that are specifically designed for birders and naturalists.
Edmund seemed quite impressed with the binoculars compared to those he had used previously when he recently tested them.
'They really are a good mid-range binocular, comfortable to use and with a distinctive design. With 10x42 lenses they have a large field of view which means you can taken in a lot of the foreshore with one sweep of the binoculars. The padded bag and light weight design makes them practical as well, I would definitely recommend them to wildlife enthusiasts!"
