    A lot depends on budget but most modern DSLR are more than capable of taking quality pics but as just-A-snap says a quality lens will make a big difference to quality and price. For example a decent 3rd party Marco or close up lens will set you back over £300, and a decent wildlife lens up to 400mm even more. There are also some very good mirrorless systems about but I don't know much about these. I am sure you might even find a compact camera that could work and it will be better than a phone and a lot cheaper than a DSLR and a couple of lenses. I suggest you work out a budget a take a t

    did well to get a shot of it spot on thanks need a longer lens Don't know what your budget is but I have no complaints about the Sigma 150-600C even at 600mm it is sharp. I sold one when I got a 500mm prime but got another when lugging that round got on my nerves, I use it 90% of the time I guess. Kestrel by Martin Billard, on Flickr

    I drove 250 miles today to try and get a picture of a Hobby (I did) but I think 150 miles for a bag of Mackerel would have been a better use of time, Fresh out of the sea on a BBQ or in a pan with a bit of butter, YUM. Kent here we come, I can tell by the pebbles where to start.

    I had a trip out West yesterday and popped into RSPB reserve Ham Wall. I don't really like sitting in big wooden hides but suffered it for a while. Saw plenty of birds including Marsh Harriers, Hobby, Great Crested, Grebe with young, Grey Heron, Little Egret, Buzzard a Barn Owl and others but most were too far away to take decent photos. I did get these two though both of birds I had not seen before. Great White Egret (Ardea alba) by Martin Billard, on Flickr Bittern (Botaurus stellaris) by Martin Billard, on Flickr
