[QUOTE="hark, post: 665313, member: 13196"] I too agree with going as long as possible. When I used my 70-300mm on some birds, I really enjoyed it. Wound up getting a 300mm f/4 which still isn't long enough, but with a Nikon 1.4x teleconverter, that really helps. Your D5300 is going to limit you. There's an older AF-D 300mm f/4 screw drive lens that Nikon made years ago. The AF is slower, but it is immensely sharp. Unfortunately the AF won't work with your current body...and make note that this particular lens won't work with a Nikon 1.4 teleconverter. But the price used is quite good especially for the sharpness. Whatever lens you choose, try to find out ahead of time if it would be compatible with a Kenko 1.4x 300 pro teleconverter.
