What equipment do you need for bird watching (bird shooting)?

Let's talk about equipment first (because equipment is really important). First of all, you should have an excellent "bird-catching" weapon.

For people who like wild bird photography, the performance of a camera in continuous shooting speed, focusing speed, image quality and maneuverability is very important. Therefore, Canon's EOS 90D, EOS R, EOS 5D series, EOS- 1DX series are all qualified to be birds.

Because of the frightening nature of wild birds, the lenses needed to shoot birds are basically telephoto lenses, such as 500mm f/4L is II USM, EF 400mm f/2.8L is III USM or EF 600mm f/4L is III USM and so on. In this way, the most natural side of birds can be photographed from a long distance.

Let's talk about something else. Because it takes a long time to shoot birds, you should bring some dry food and water and catch mosquitoes. The season of bird hunting is different, and the clothes you bring are different. But they are wear-resistant, sun-resistant and waterproof.
