Morning folks, I'm for buying myself a new telephoto lens within the next few weeks for mainly birdie shots. I'm currently shooting with a Sony Alpha A330 and want to upgrade from my Tamron 70-300mm. Any hints or tips on what to go for? I have about 300 quid or maybe a bit more to spend...

I just asked the wife the same, and she said orange pliers! She always was a weirdo though :help:

Red saw for me!
