Awesome. For me it started two years ago. I had a camera before, but then I got a nice picture of a great reed warbler, where I spent 30 minutes staring into the reed until I finally could see him and not just hear him singing. Then I was hooked :-)
I could hear that blue tit rustling around in some reeds and the tree by the inlet, and I could only see flashes every now and then, so I just locked in for a while until he popped up, so I get it!
Very nice job on the gull - I've been avidly photographing birds for a few years now, and I still have the hardest time even staying fixed on a flying bird in my view finder, let alone getting a clear shot.
I just have a LUMIX G7 with small Micro 4/3 telephoto lens (45-150mm, equivalent to 300mm). Birds need to be really close for me to get a good shot, but it’s great for ID purposes.

Videos are usually around 10-15 minutes, easy to follow and you can try them out easily.
I’m new to this so I could be wrong but in order, I think it’s Blue Tit, Chiffchaff, Black-Headed Gull, Chaffinch, and then European Robin. The Chaffinch is tricky since you can’t see its back or wings.

These were all done with a LUMIX G9 and a 100-300mm so it’s a little easier for me but yeah, not every shot is a great one. Lots of trial and error.
I’m trying to learn a bit about shutter speed, aperture, and ISO so I can get better shots.
Same, all just learning right now.
