When snow falls and ice freezes, wildlife can be busy at work searching for much-needed food and water which means it's a great time to get outside and explore with your binoculars!

( ) 🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

Can you believe we're already halfway through autumn? I’ve been loving the colours and wildlife on display this year, and my Opticron binoculars have made it even better. If you haven’t already, get outside and enjoy the rest of autumn’s show! 🍁🍃

Ambassador 🔭

It thought friends and family may like to know that I’ve joined the Opticron family as their newest ambassador!

After spending last year constantly pinching the Opticron binoculars out of the cabinet at work and raving to the visitors about how good they are - I have now got a pair of my very own! 🥹

Opticron have gifted me the perfect bins! Small, light, bright and sharp, my new Traveller BGA ED 8x32 sets the standard for compact high-quality 32mm field binoculars. They were specifically picked out after the team noticed I am constantly travelling with work 🚐, spotting more than just birds 🪶 (🦋👀) and visiting endless wildlife hotspots around the UK 🇬🇧.

I have wanted to work with Opticron for so long. They are a family-owned business with fifty years of experience in optics. They specialise in quality, affordable binoculars and are well known for these particular style, with the first Traveller BGA introduced in 2003 weighing

FABULOUS FUNGUS ALERT 🚨

🍄Sarcoscypha sp.🍄 - AKA: The Scarlett elf cup

Another beautiful fungus to feast your eyes on this time of year! Keeps your eyes peeled on your local lockdown woodland walks and you might spot one of these...

Ps: Although they share resemblance with a toxic species ‘Otidea fungi’... This crazy coloured dead tree dweller is not poisonous at all?! AND can even be eaten! 🍽

(But please do not take my word and do your research if you’re thinking about trying it!)
