Interested in dragonflies?

The habitat around the
visitor centre favours dragonflies and we have a selection of
specialist equipment for viewing them from macro monoculars focussing
in to 300mm and binoculars which work down to 1.5m or less.
During the season you can expect nearly 20 species to show including
red- eyed damselfly, small red-eyed damselfly, hairy dragonfly
and perhaps red-veined darter.

shop at Rutland Water
The leading birding equipment & binocular retailer
in Leicestershire
The
In Focus shop at Rutland Water sells a wide range of binoculars and birdwatching
equipment from leading manufacturers such as Opticron, Zeiss, Nikon, Swarovski
and Steiner as well as our own brand, Delta. We stock binoculars, telescopes,
eyepieces, tripods and digiscoping kit as well as accessories.
A chance to try quality telescopes and binoculars before
you buy
Our Rutland optics shop offers specialist birding
equipment demonstrations and excellent viewing facilities - come and try
out telescopes and binoculars before you buy. Our staff offer specialist
advice about buying scopes and binoculars as well as great after sales
service plus all the benefits of their own birdwatching expertise.
Looking for used binoculars and telescopes in Leicestershire?
We usually have a selection
of quality used binoculars and scopes in stock and can often offer part-exchange
deals on your optics purchase - a great way to obtain even more value
for money when buying birdwatching equipment. Drop into our shop at Rutland
Water to see what secondhand scopes, binoculars and optical accessories
we have in stock.
The shop is situated in the Anglian Water Birdwatching
Centre at Egleton; the home of The British Birdwatching Fair. There are
stunning views of the Rutland Water Nature Reserve from the shop making
this the ideal situation from which to test binoculars and telescopes.
During spring and summer there are regular sightings of Ospreys and in
the winter there are huge concentrations of wildfowl just in front of
the shop.
Free parking is available for
In Focus customers in the Visitor Centre car park.
