@Rabit You ought to be out there asking the important questions!
@porsupah I wish I could that close to them. There's sometimes as many as 5 all wandering around but they run off at the slightest noise. Even if I'm 200ft away behind a bush, they hear the slightest noise.

@Rabit Ack! Tricky. Do you have a good telephoto handy? Something like the Nikon 300mm f/4 isn’t as long as some, but it’s extremely sharp, so heavy cropping is absolutely fine. But if light’s okay, Sigma and Tamron have around zooms around 200-500mm; you lose a stop or so, but gain stabilization.

@Rabit Ooh! Hope that works out. ^_^ It may well be simpler to be somewhere likely and wait for them, rather than going to them, if they have any favorite spots.
