Hello

In English I can say "I saw a very small bird using a telescope" and this would be instantly understood to indicate that I was using the telescope.

How would this sentence be expressed in Spanish?

You should say I saw a very small bird trough a telescope.

In spanish you could say he visto un muy pequeño pájaro por telescópo

In spanish you could say he visto un pájaro muy pequeño por el telescopio

You could always say "pajarillo" for very small bird.
