Celestron LandScout 8×40 Binoculars Kit – Your Perfect Gateway to the Outdoors

 

Whether you're discovering birdwatching for the first time or elevating your weekend adventures, the Celestron LandScout 8×40 Binoculars Kit gives you everything you need for crisp, immersive viewing right out of the box.

You get high-quality 8×40 binoculars, a rugged carry case, a comfortable strap, and the Philip’s Guide to Birds of Britain and Europe—the perfect companion for identifying and enjoying the wildlife around you.

 

Designed for nature lovers, hikers, travellers, and anyone who wants to see more of the world, the LandScout brings clarity, comfort, and reliability together in one lightweight package.

 

Bright, Sharp, and Simply Beautiful Views

 

The LandScout 8×40 binoculars feature high-quality optical coatings and precision K9 prisms, crafted to enhance brightness and deliver crisp, contrast-rich images.

Expect clear, detailed views whether you're tracking fast-moving subjects or admiring a distant landscape. From early morning bird activity to bright afternoon vistas, the optics work hard so your eyes don’t have to.

 

Lightweight. Tough. Ready for Anything.

 

Built for real outdoor use, the LandScout 8×40 boasts a durable, armor-protected chassis that feels secure in the hand and stands up to rough handling in the field. The rubber-coated exterior offers excellent grip and shock resistance—ideal for long days exploring.

 

And because nature doesn’t always play nice, the LandScout is water-resistant and ready for surprise showers, damp mornings, or misty coastal treks.

 

Effortless Viewing with 8× Magnification

With 8× magnification and a wide field of view, the LandScout makes tracking wildlife easy and comfortable. This magnification level is naturally steadier and more user-friendly, especially for beginners or long viewing sessions.

 

But don’t let the wide view fool you—these binoculars also excel up close. With a close-focus distance of just 32.8 feet, you can move effortlessly from distant birds to nearer subjects like butterflies, flora, or garden wildlife.

 

A Naturalist’s Guide to the Birds of Britain & Northern Europe by Peter Goodfellow

is a photographic identification guide to the commoner birds of Britain and Northern Europe, featuring 280 species that the amateur naturalist might expect to see in the field or garden. The user-friendly introduction covers geography, climate, habits, taxonomy and nomenclature, bird topography, and the best places to watch birds, in a way that doesn’t assume prior knowledge of the subject. Includes a list of useful addresses and contacts.

 

Peter Goodfellow is a retired school teacher and lifelong birdwatcher. He is a past Chairman of Devon Birdwatching & Preservation Society, and regularly involved with BTO surveys. His previous publications include “Shakespeare’s Birds”, “The AA Illustrated Birds of Britain & Europe” and “An Identification Guide to the Birds of Britain & Europe” (both with Paul Sterry).

 

Paul Sterry is one of the UK’s leading wildlife and natural history photographers, with more than 40 highly successful books to his name. Originally trained as a biologist, he uses his knowledge of natural history and ecology to take images that serve to depict wildlife in a natural context, and to celebrate its beauty.

 

It’s the perfect all-round performer for birdwatching, sightseeing, sporting events, nature walks, and everyday outdoor exploration.
