Hi Redwing,
I am fairly new to wildlife photography myself. A good camera and lens probably help a lot but on balance I think it is more about the way you move, what you wear and your patience. I always wear muted clothing in green or browns, sometimes camo clothing, depending on what I am photographing. A good knowledge of where the birds are and then settle down and wait. No sudden movements etc. You could also try a handful of meal worms away in front. That will bring in the tits and the robins. . It a long and drawn out process but once you have that one great shot you will be back again and again. Good luck
