Default monopod

Can someone please recommend a good monopod to be used for bird photography.
I need something lightweight compact and in the "middle " price range. I
plan to use it with a Nikon coolpix 995 with an 8x lense. Thanks.

UK wise, Jessops 330 is good for less than 20 quid

Along with staffs that double as monopods, there are monopods that
double as staffs.
