Birdwatching, nature spotting and stargazing have seen a real boom in popularity over the past year or so. If you're thinking of adopting this hobby, today is a great day to pick up the kit you need.

In fact, it's been so popular that a lot of the biggest names experienced a real shortage of products to actually sell you. The knock-on effect is that there were literally no offers of any note on binoculars over Black Friday 2020, and while Prime Day 2020 yielded just one or two okay deals on Celestron models.

I have good news. Prime Day 2021 (which is happening today and tomorrow, 21-22 June), has come up trumps with a range of very worthwhile binocular deals, all from brands that crop up repeatedly in our best binoculars buyer's guide. The models below have all dropped to the cheapest price we've seen ever (or at least in the past year or so).

Below you'll find a short roundup of the best discounts on quality models. Remember, you need to be an Amazon Prime member to claim these deals – but you can use your free trial period if you like. Sign up for your free Amazon Prime trial here. Then once you have, you'll be free to shop all the best Prime Day deals in this year's event.
