    Danielle Meyer, visitor experience manager at Old Moor, said: “Our popular drop-in Binocular and Telescope Open Weekends take place across many of our RSPB sites. They’re fun, friendly and interactive events designed to help you select the very best kit for your needs. 

    “Instead of trying out the equipment in a store where you may not spot anything of interest, testing the kit out surrounded by natural sights and sounds on our reserve really helps people identify the best investment for their needs.”

    The event will take place on August 4 and 5, and is free to attend.
