All you need it is a good lens with a quick autofocus. In my humble opinion, the (max.) focal length needed is around 200-300 mm. If you have a Canon camera (400D, 450D, 30D, 40D, 50D and so on) the options could be: Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Macro plus a 1.4X-1.5X teleconverter, Canon EF 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM plus a 1.4X-1.5X teleconverter and so on. I can not give you advices about Nikon, because I really don't know much about this brand, but I'm sure that you'll find good cameras and lens if you are a Nikon fan.Later, I will add a few words about how to take the shots (I have to leave the computer now...).</blockquote>
