Best for Birding...

Spotting scopes offer higher magnification and closer viewing than is possible with a pair of binoculars.  Scopes are a worthy investment for any serious birder and are available in a number of different prices and sizes (such as 60 mm objective lens, 77 mm objective lens and so on) to suit all birding applications.  

When purchasing your scope you'll need at least these three basic components: a scope body, an eyepiece from the same manufacturer and a suitable tripod.
