Canon eos 100d (1 Viewer)

Hello everyone,
Can anyone please give me some advice on bird photography??
I have never done bird photography before and I was thinking of getting the canon eos 100d camera. ( price £520) .have heard this is a good camera for birding.... With the right lens! Would that be right???
I have about £400-£500 to get a lens for the camera, could anyone give some advice? Does the lens have to be at least 300mm?? Very confusing for me!
HELP!!!

Regards, Neil.

I've moved your post to the Cameras forum, as I think you'll get the best advice in there. I also subscribed you to the thread so you can easily keep track of it.
