Bushnells do some good ones.
I have a 8x42 waterproof pair from them.

For a good pair of binoculars, visit second hand shops, usually plenty of good quality ones available at cheap prices and ideal for throwing in your bag etc and no need to worry about ruining or damaging a pair you have spent a lot of money on.
Over the years I have bought a few good sets of binoculars this way for fishing. Prices can be as low as £15 or less.

I've been pretty happy with the Fortis XSR. Seem to be about the right magnification to hand hold without shake, and waterproof in case you throw them in the drink.

Thanks for the replies
My Dad came down the lake with some expensive Bushnell Nature Views at the weekend, I was well impressed! I don't fancy spending that much though
I'll check out second hand shops
