Canon 70-300 is / Sigma 100-300 f4

Got myself a Sigma 300 f2.8 and tc for wildlife/birds , can see me using this mainly on a tripod ( its currently setup on pod awaiting a Sparrowhawk"s return to my garden )
I have saved a bit of cash ( £400 ) and am considering the purchase of a lens that I can walk about with and use for the landscape/wildlife shot that presents itself .
Something a bit lighter than the Sigma 300 that I can hand hold , the 2 lens I have listed have good reviews and the Canon is almost half the weight of the Sigma 100-300 .
Would prob be looking at s/h models , am I on the right track with the 2 listed and any prefs from anyone please ?

TIA

Julian
