Simon, I generally agree that the optimum equipment for bird photography is defined as a camera with a 400mm FFE lens, however this only gets you close to the bird; but there are ways to get close without a long lens. Having a lens with f2.8 or f4 is great for really blurred backgrounds; but again there are a number of ways of getting around this too. Neither of these equipment based themes mean you will get a great bird image. Focus and fieldcraft are the key influences any photographer has on bird photography. The rest is up to the bird and the environment.
