If you check my Flickr account you may find some. Every pic has full details and anything 'longer' than 70mm must have been taken with that lens.
Not sure what's there just now (good or bad) but here's the link to my 'sets'.
Just check the 'more properties' link for each

Cheers Phil - hadda look 
Some great pics in there, although I couldn't see which lens they were taken with.. will look forward to your update tomorrow 
Edit: Just noticed it's not an AF-S model *duh!* so it won't auto focus with my d40!
So really my choice is between the 55-200 vr and 70-300 vr. Unless I can work out which sigma and tamrom lenses autofocus with the d40!

Dawn didn't know you had a nikon D/SLR!

No idea if these are any good or not, but it looks as if they will autofocus on the D40 (unless I've misread)
I don't know if this is out in the UK yet, but I think it says it's $189, that's less that £100

This one says Nikon AF, but not sure if it'd work on the D40
