Hi again, the Canon 400mm f5.6L USM prime can be had for well under a £1000. I paid less than £800 for mine brand new. Although it's not image stabilised it's pretty light compared to the Sigma 50-500mm and can be hand held as long as you have a decent shutter speed.

Just check out mygallery on here for images taken with it. Most of the recent stuff is with the 400mm unless it states otherwise under the photo. I do use a tripod mainly though.
