The use of field glasses or telescopes for bird observation began in the 1820s and 1830s with pioneers like J. Dovaston ( who also pioneered in the use of bird-feeders ), but it was not until the 1880s that instruction manuals began to insist on the use of optical aids such as " a first-class telescope " or " field glass.
