As a beginner, you can't go far wrong with the usual manufacturer's kit lens supplied at very low cost with most dSLR bodies. They are better than most give them credit for. On top of that, the Sigma 55-200 has a good reputation for the money at around £100. Beyond 200mm, I'd say it's better to wait and get experienced with these (relatively) short lenses before playing with the big stuff. As you no doubt know, getting good long lens pics involves a bit more than "point and click".
