DSLR OR MIRRORLESS CAMERA
An obvious bit of kit to point out... but in an ideal world it's best to use a model with weather-proofing and a fast continuous shooting speed.
TELEPHOTO LENS
Long zoom lenses with a wide maximum aperture are ideal. Teleconverters can be used to increase a lens's focal length.
CLOTHING
Cosy, waterproof and rustle-free materials are key here. Layer up your clothing for added warmth, and avoid noise-creating velcro.
TRIPOD OR BEANBAG
A sturdy support keeps long lenses stabilised, while a beanbag is great for low-down shooting
WATERPROOF/CAMO COVERS
It helps to have a specialised waterproof cover for your camera, but a plastic bag and rubber band will do the job in an emergency
SPARE CAMERA BATTERIES
Because frosty temperatures drain battery power faster, packing spares is vital.
