Photographers! Gather round!!...Specifically speaking?? Wildlife photography....

Just want to note!, I have never used a professional camera, but I realise the struggles to capture natural and quick movements, and distant shots via ..guess what?? my mobile phone 🤣...Having used my mobile, I've been told I have a great eye...and I know where to find certain species as I have loved and followed nature since I was a child. But!!...close images have worked on mobile, so frustrating when you spot something extraordinary and you can't quite capture it in the distance. I'm thinking, movement is one to capture, can't tell you how many times I've seen a kingfisher dart away, and with a mobile I'm only going to manage a blue dot in the distance barely even making out a kingfisher. Movement is one..distance is another..and I heard about a buffer, for multiple shots of natural movements...but I can't explan how frustrating it is on mobile 🤣🤣....I need advice for a decent wildlife camera as, I have no idea with how many different cameras and makes there are.....heres my photos on mobile phone (close up)....and the last one (sssoooo frustrating!) at distance...so much so...I had to video the last one >>>>>>

Here's the distant one...otters 🦦🦦🦦

Hi hun,not sure if you question is solely related too digital photography or film ie 35mm,I still use film over digital for quality n speed,My personal camera is Nikon f301 n Nikon matched lenses from 28mm 35mm 50mm n assorted telephoto lenses all with macro zoom,but for the photos you are talking I’d try a 105mm too 300mm follow focus with 4.1 macro n a high speed film 800 asa and high shutter speed in excess of 4000s,
Im not a professional but i take a lot of photos.. and i understand the frustration of missing a shot.. i think the best thing is film or short video and you can pause the frame and take a screenshot of it.. its not as detailed as a direct shot but it's a shot that you otherwise wouldn't have. Either that or you have to wait and plain ahead for the shot with anticipation.
