That said, not every subject needs to be photographed in isolation
with the latest and best equipment. Insects, flowers, nest sites, burrow
entrances as well as less reactive animals like sitting ducks, spiders,
newts and snails etc are always good to go with a "grab shot”. They're
also ideal for anyone interested in wildlife to get started with some
photography.

As high as your aspirations may be, the key to becoming a dedicated
wildlife photographer isn’t in being more mercenary or by turning every
assignment into a do-or-die glory hunt but by keeping things in
perspective. So learn to accept dry periods as well as missed magic
moments along with problems from people, pets and pests; bad light;
bad weather; equipment failure and the best teacher of all, your own
silly mistakes!
