Recommended camera equipment:  

For these days almost any camera will suffice as you are able to get close to the birds. As a recommendation we would suggest a DSLR or mirrorless system camera, or a high end bridge camera as being your best options.

For lenses we would recommend a 70 – 200 mm or higher zoom for maximum versatility although almost any standard lens will enable you to get photos of the birds.
