Maybe it’s not such an unusual sighting, but I’ve often travelled Simes Road to Border Ranges NP over the past 30 years or so, and this is the first time I’ve seen a white-eared monarch.

Hi all, Marlene Lyall and I have just had a very pleasant few days of birding around the Wonboyn Lake area on the far south NSW coast. We went down mainly for the Eden pelagic trip but sadly that was cancelled because 3 people backed out at the last minute and replacements could not be . . . → Read More: Spectacled Monarch Wonboyn Lake, NSW.

I wear glasses, so the cups are wound right in all the time.

The optics are great for the price, but the eyepieces can be a bit of a trial at times. I recommend the 10×42 for all round birding …… i imagine the next size up would be a bit cumbersome, although i haven’t tried . . . → Read More: RE Nikon Monarchs and don’t put your binos on the car roof!(Bob Dawson) I bought some Pentax DCF ED 8×43 that I like although they can be near the $1000 limit. I bought mine in Sydney at Bintel and at the time they were very competitive with US online and there was instant gratification. I suspect the AUD will probably continue to fall while there is uncertainty in . . . → Read More: Nikon Monarchs and don’t put your binos on the car roof! And don’t forget that Customs include freight costs and any customs agents fees in that AUD 1000 figure. If you are over, Customs bases its fees on the landed price of the shipment, not just on the nett price of the shipment. I have learnt that to my cost.
