I've had my Nikon D3500 for almost a year now and so far have only had the included kit lens to take photos with, which to be honest for me has been a good lens and I think I've managed to get quite a few really nice shots with it.
But I think now is the time to purchase my first additional lens but due to not knowing or understanding much about lenses I'm finding it tricky deciding what to go for.
I've mostly enjoyed taking up close shots of flowers with my kit lens, but for a while I've wanted to be able to get some half decent photos of birds however the lens I have doesn't have much zoom capabilities so it's been hard to do that.
What lens would be ideal for me in regards to 'zoom'?
I've looked a bit at the Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR, would this be ideal for zooming on to birds (enough without getting so close to scare them away).
Other lenses in my budget are the Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Zoom and the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G AF-S but I'm not sure if either of these would be suitable for what I've said I'd like.
Any advice would be appreciated.
