If you can stretch the budget a little more,you should be able to pick up a good second hand Canon 70-200 F 2.8 non IS.

I really like the bokeh this lens gives,and enjoy the images I can get with it,I mainly bought it as a 'people' lens,but have used it out in the field for wildlife too,and been able to get paid usage request fees for images.

My son borrowed my copy on the weekend,to take some images for a 'Bond girl' photo competition,here is some at F 2.8,in natural light.
