sorted byAnyway, back to the topic, some of the best value are the Lidl binos offered occasionally, they are from a good factory (usually the same one as Bresser IIRC), but can get knocked around when transported and go through less QC, so look through them when you buy them - if you have trouble making the two images "merge", try another pair. The optics will be good, only alignment may be out of sync.
Other than that, anything I mention here would be good (old presentation so prices are twice now). I'd say for example a pair of Bresser Hunter in the £40s (8x40 or 10x50) would be great for most. If you go over 10x, you'd have trouble holding them steady for long without a tripod, so don't try to get max magnification (more magnification for the same aperture is also darker image).
I bought these on Amazon a while back. Around £15. Not sure you can get them now but many similar. For the money, they are excellent. Bright and contrasty, although they are nearer 8x25 than 10x 25. Perfect for what you need without spending silly money (edited)
A month ago I ordered 2 pairs for ~ £40 each, about half the price they had been. Yet neither was significantly better than a tiny lightweight pair for just a tenner, which is fine for looking at the birds on the garden feeder (and easy to take to the park).
Now these specifically are more expensive than decent brands (e.g. Bresser 10x25), so even the "can't afford good ones" argument doesn't hold! (edited)
