Hi,
Although not an avid birder I do like to take pictures of them, despite not having a clue what they are unless its a sparrow
I do have the Sigma 150-500 which is a nice lens and I have managed one great (to me) image:

But the bulk of them are more like these.

I have a gallery if that helps : here.
I know I would loose 100mm but would the clarity be better?
The only test shot I've published (the other was of a shop sign) is this:
Test shot of 100-400 by magsnorton, on Flickr
It looks nice.
I was also wondering how you guys 'n gulls (pun intended!) found the 100-400 paired with a 1.4 teleconvertor for birding.
Ta,
John
