Thanks guys, good suggestions there. Re the hybrid monopod, I am aware of those, personally it would mean a fair bit of screwing and unscrewing, but it is a great option for the right person.

Hello Good stabilization is obviously a must to shoot at the longer end of the telephoto range. What are your best options other than a tripod/monopod (I almost never carry one as I can carry so ...

Good chice...agree with Bill, the extra reach is nice, but there are many worthy improvements over the P900 that make it worth.

Cheers man, very generous as usual (winning is a bit too much though :)
