Binoculars and telescope for sale. Previously owned by the late Paul Dukes. The binoculars are Zeiss Victory 10 x 42 £250 and were bought new in 2007. The scope is an Opticron HR 80 with a 18-54/24-72 lens £350 and although it is in good condition (unused in recent years I imagine) it was bought in Nov 2003. Please contact Peter Clement via email if interested: petecwisb@aol.com. (whilst the sightings team don’t tend to advertise products, it is hoped these items can be purchased by a local birder at a sensible price and put to good use)
