A not too expensive accessory worth consideration would be the Kirk flash extender. Won't give you the perfect picture but a better and sharper picture is possible. You still have to get near enough to the subject though. Whats wrong with using feed and getting them to come to you?. Many folks set up their own feeding stations in good settings and use a dead simple willow screen type hide at suitable distance. Check out Birdforum, Your Patch, Durham and look for posts by Jbee as this is exactly what he has done at a couple of sites. Birders from all over the UK now visit one of them.
