What an amazing display of optical equipment in a relatively small space. Most important however was the knowledgable advice we received. Highly recommend.

I had some hawke binoculars from here last year, absolutely love them. My wife said she wanted some for her birthday, so had another visit to get her some yesterday. Another successful visit, found the one's she wanted they were in-stock. Always phone to make sure they had them, she tried them out loved them straight away. Bought a few more bits and pieces, it takes us about an hour and twenty minutes to get there. But wouldn't go anywhere else, always helpful to find you the right equipment. Thank goodness for independent places like this.

I recently purchased a scope and stay-on case after doing lots of research and reading countless reviews. I eventually decided to order from the Birders Store because their pricing is competitive but also because they cater to the birding community specifically, whereas most other shops that sell optics also sell hunting / shooting supplies and I don?t particularly want to give any money to companies that enable the killing of birds and wildlife.I did have a small issue with the stay-on case, which was faulty, but I received excellent service from Bev, who liaised with Zeiss and organised a replacement item in a very short time. Excellent service and communication, highly recommended.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They were very patient with me helping me to purchase a scope , tripod and tripod carrier backpack. They fully demonstrated the operation of all the above, which allowed me to have a fun afternoon at WWT Slimbridge.It's definitely my go-to store from now on.

Brilliant professional advice with a fantastic range of binoculars as well as lots of other tempting birdwatching items. Great enthusiasm and lots of chat about birds around the world. A very enjoyable experience and a new pair of binoculars to enjoy. Highly recommended.

Just bought our second pair of binoculars in six months so they must be good.

Excellent service and assistance, went along to buy some binoculars as I needed hands on experience to decide whether they were right for me and they were very helpful and friendly.

Wow! Thank you for fulfilling my order for some Hawke compact binoculars so quickly! Less than 72 hours from order to delivery and just in time for a birding cruise around Poole harbour. Magnificent service and delighted also with the binoculars!

I've never dealt with The Birders Store before, but was impressed by the reviews the shop had received.Living in Preston, I didn't think it worthwhile travelling to the shop as I know how good Leica optics are having both the 10 x 42 Trinovids and the APO 77 Scope.I decided to buy my wife the 8 x 42 Ultravids, ordered Tuesday night and delivered Thursday morning!The only problem was that she said they were too heavy even though I told her they were lighter than my Trinovids.Now I'm stuck with two pairs of excellent binoculars!Thanks again to the team at The Birders Store for a very fast delivery.
