Reccs for the these specs?

Hello, I'm looking for my first pair of bins for birding. I *think* I'd like a good pair with eye relief higher than 18mm and an FOV over 7.2 What do you suggest?

I need to wear glasses for birding, hence the eye relief and I've tried a pair at 18mm and it was OK but I could use more for comfort and to see fully.

I don't entirely understand fov but primarily watch moving birds and have been led to believe that higher is better here, too. (I've also been able to try a pair that had a 7.2 and it "felt" nice)

My budget is lowish but not super budget, around the £300 mark. Happy to take suggestions outside my spec range if you can explain to a dummy why!
