Depends on how much you have to spend.

 

[Karlos]

and what camera you are using

 

[Turner]

Canon 40d, and say up to a thousand quid

Think I'd go for the Sigma 150-500mm if you want a zoom.

I'd be thinking of the Sigma 150-500 and also something like a 1.7x TC for brighter days where you can lose the f stops.

I say this as I've been looking at this

Second hand 100-400L, there's one for sale in the classifieds just now.

Admirable's post

Sigma 150-500 or a Canon 100-400L if you can afford it.
