I must admit to being more interested in the Spotting Scope, can't be any
good at that price can it? It's toy priced.

Find binoculars difficult so tend to use a Monocular, a Spotting Scope
would be one better and it's a very cheap way to find out if you can get
on with one.

Pity there is no way of attaching a still camera to it though.
It would really be a bargain then !

There is probably a way to connect a digital camera to the scope. Most
scopes have that capacity but the coupling equipment can be surprisingly
expensive. And you must have a tripod. The old Nikon Coolpix 4500 is
reckoned to be one of the better digi-cameras to clamp on to scopes.
This type of photography takes a bit of getting used to but can be very
rewarding.
