Is that  300 prime or 70-300 you are talking about? In that case you coudl explore usinga teleconvertor

150-600 is a good lens but very heavy 3 kg aprox which introduces another set of issues

100-400 is good choice

Longer zoom are required for birds, but tehre is always a trade off and only goidn for longer focal length or faster lense does not come without other tradeoffs, there is always a price ( apart from monney) to pay so working technique more important

AFP NIKKOR 70-300 mm 1: 45-6.3G ED lens...this is my lens
