I moved my bird feeder hanging off the corner of my eves trough in front of the window after the deer mowed it down farther out in the yard, so I don’t need either one. A 30 power scope is hard to find things with quickly and I’ve found using my 15-60 scope is way easier, so if you have a tripod maybe consider a lower range scope. Bugs in the garden you say! I never thought to look at bugs and if I did I would probably just walk outside to see them. Binos work better for my birding because they move around so much and 8’s or 10’s is what I and most people use for birds. 15’s would be tough to hand hold and have a narrow fov.
