Hi, I'm getting really into wildlife photography (primarily birds/waterfowl) but I have just been using my mobile phone camera (Google Pixel 8 Pro) and would really like to upgrade to an actual camera.

Problem is, I have never owned a camera (and haven't even borrowed one in over 10 years) so don't know where to start with researching and purchasing the right equipment.

I was hoping someone here could give some recommendations (or pointers on where to go to find) info on cameras, lenses, and anything else I may need.

I could do with a smaller form factor, probably mirrorless, and a good zoom. I would prefer it not to be particularly heavy as I am disabled and may struggle to carry a heavier camera around.

My budget is probably around £1000 but I could go slightly higher if necessary.

Thanks

Been playing Tomodachi Life on 3ds for the first time. It's such a ridiculous game (in a good way)

And I'm still playing Fallout 76 but after 370 hours in the past few months, I'm starting to get burnt out on it ngl

    • Notable gameplay mechanics: You raced on jet skis, the water had strong waves at times, I believe you held down the left side of the screen to go left and vice versa
    • Other details: I think there were traffic light things to start the race and I remember you had to jump over another part of the track on one of the races. I think there were boost/launchpads.
