skill and ability are foremost, but if you have that already, the equipment counts a huge amount. i just read Arthur Morris' book on bird photography. net summary - if you've got the skill, not getting exactly the hardware needed to do the job is a waste of your time. you'll make up for the cost in the vastly higher rate of saleable shots.
