Your chance to get hands-on with the latest optics equipment from Swarovski and OM System - the Birders choice of Cameras and Optics
Swarovski have the well deserved reputation for being among the best optics on the planet for Bird Watching. Equally, OM System, formerly Olympus cameras, have in recent years become the cameras of choice for Birds and wildlife.
One of the big problems when choosing cameras and optics is trying them in real-world conditions - this is why we are working with the Wildlife and Wetland Trust's flagship reserve at Slimbridge to give people that opportunity to really try out the kit and to have a free day's Birding on us.
On show will be Swarovski's revolutionary AX Visio, the World's First Smart binoclulars together with OM System's groundbreaking new and effective 300-1200mm lens and the enhanced OM-1 MkII camera.
For Photographers and Birders alike, a good pair of binoculars like Swarovski Optik's new NL Pure are critical to finding Birds and other wildlife like this Short-eared Owl ranging widely across a Northern Moor
