so you'll need to set your camera up so you can work fast and react quickly. Here are our tips on how to set your camera up

An 18-55mm kit lens that comes with a DSLR is great as a starting point, but these don't offer a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster that's needed blow the background out of focus significantly. It's good to say that there's a selection of affordable prime lenses out there for a range of systems, including the excellent Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX at £165 and Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II at £89.
For birds, a long lens is usually for getting close enough to fill most of the frame. Serious bird photographers generally use 600mm telephoto to lenses.which are very expensive.Teleconverters can be added to increase the focal lengths of many lenses, but quality & sharpness will be sacrificed. A tripod & gimbal head are also neeeded to support these long,heavy lenses,while allowing easy pan & tilt to follow a bird in flight.

There are some shooting tips for you:

ABOVE: Set your camera to Continuous AF - that way, you can keep refocusing as your subject moves around.
