You would definitely want to save up for a longer reach (>400mm) telephoto to use with the RP. I am using my 70-300L with a T3i so I get to have an effective reach of 480mm with the crop factor. But as you soon find out when birding the quest for additional focal length seems to never end. Need examples of pics using the lens then check out my gallery here on DPR.

Thanks Mike, I had a look at the Tamron 100-400mm this evening and I could see myself wanting more reach.  I'm leaning towards the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary now.
