I think that the RX-10 is actually the best "first step" for wildlife and bird. Only go into the bigger stuff, once you're taking hundreds or thousands of pictures per month and you run into situations where the RX-10 doesn't cut it for you.
My buddy has the EF 600mm f/4L IS III. Talk about a lens hood!!! That thing is crazy-big, on an already large lens.
