bpw, as an ex 10D owner who upgraded to a 20D, I would agree with Andy. You will see a substantial improvement in handling if you went down the 30D road. I noticed a difference in picture quality too. The start up time, the burst rate and buffer make the camera a much better proposition, though I'm not a birder, I can see how important that might be. The 30D of course has the benefit of the bigger screen, something that shouldn't be underestimated, and a few other minor refinements which make it an even better jump from a 10D.
I jumped up to the 1DMk2N but then of course thats a completely different price band
For me, one other essential addition was the battery grip, something which IMO makes a vast difference to the balance and handling of the camera
