Recommend me a lens please ( landscape / Weather )

Basically my 55mm standard lens just isn't good enough , i saw some really nice clouds today with great texture and the sun made it look red underneath but i could not zoom in enough to get a good enough shot. I would also like better shots of landscapes like reculver on the cliffs.

I have a Canon Rebel XT EOS 350D

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS
Tamron AF 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2
SIGMA 18-200MM F3.5-6.3 DC
Canon EF100-300MM F4.5 USM

Basically i want more zoom , i was just giving an example... Another one would be i was on the beach the other week , saw some birds trying to get the shrimps from the ground. But i could not get a good enough zoom to show what they were doing. With my 55mm i had to walk close enough to get the shot but they flew off.

Ah ok, I'd say the canon 70-300 IS then, not guit as good IQ wise but the extra 100mm will go a long way.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS

A1ex2001 when the seller says it fits canon , does that mean it fits all canon including my canon rebel XT 350D eos?
