Thank you vetonbike, where abouts in the Cotswolds were you?

Thank you for the confirmation Peter. Looking forward to getting it now! And thank you for the ID check, I've never been great with birds.

Wow you've got quite a wealth of wildlife up there! That sounds amazing place, that'll definitely be on my to go list, thank you!

Artyman: wow to the peregrine picture! You really captured its majesty and power and I love the splash of colour in its eye! You got some great detail with the 2nd picture too. Thanks for the tip about the sigma's, 500mm must be amazing! I think I'm finally leaning toward the 100-400 now though...

Thanks wippers that's exactly what I'm after! Getting back on topic, if anyone else has any gems like that please post. I know I'm new to the form but I'm not new to photography. The reason I made this thread was to basically make an 'encyclopedia' of where good wildlife spots are so people...

Hey guys, So I want to plan a trip somewhere to photograph some of our native wildlife but can't really find any specific areas of where some good places are... I'm fairly easy on where I go but Scotland sounds exciting. Does anyone know anywhere otters can be found? Golden eagles? Water...

Thanks for the welcome, details and advice guys that really helps a lot. I do generally max my 300 out, hence the need for an upgrade, so a prime would make sense already having upto 300mm in zoom. I'm just not sure whether to get a prime and replace my tamron 70-300 with a better one so I still...

Hey guys I'm new here but need some help please! I have a canon 7D and my current telephoto lens is a tamron sp 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di vc used and it's served me pretty well up til now but I feel like its not really meeting my needs now. I like to photograph a range of things but primarily...
