I think I would rather set the self timer and then catapult my camera towards the subject.

Stunning mate, how did you get the bird to hold the bug for a macro shot. Could do with that accessory

Just spent a few days in Sydney for work.
Used up all my spare time in Centennial Park.
Great to be pointing the camera at totally new (for me) brids and such a help to have good light

This shot was taken from the stands using the 75-300mm lens. This is a non IS lens, which does complicate things a bit. The image has been Photoshopped to give a different look to the finished shot.
This was at 300mm with the camera mounted on a tripod in the garden and shot using the remote feature linked to my laptop.

I bought the Canon 75-300mm lens for my 550D. Its an excellent piece of kit and the Image Stabiliser works wonders. I've used it a lot for shots of the boy playing rugby and the pics are excellent and crisp.
I wouldn't get a telephoto without the IS.
Only issue is cost, I think mine retails about £400 though I got a bit off as part of a deal. I bought a UV filter for £15 (Canon) and stuck it on to protect it.
One thing I had to remember is that with an 18MP camera you can afford to zoom and crop in later on the PC. I was trying to get too far in and missing moving targets.
No matter what lens you get, prepare yourself for the inevitable hankering after another and then another
