I fancy the 70-300VR Nikkor about £370 you will need a really good tripod if you go much bigger. The 55-300 Nikkor is also quite good.

Hi,about the nikon 70-300,the sigma 70-300 is less money and is rated 5 so maybe have a look at this lens,

I have the Sigma 70-300 and while it ia a very versatile lense, if I had the money it would be the Nikkor VR
