I visited Wetland Park yesterday. Only 5 people got on the bus with me at Admirality but it picked up a few more on the way. It is a very impressive setup but I'm not sure how good it will be for bird watching and photography as people are continually walking around and talking loudly. The best place to watch birds is the Mudflat Hide, which is the furthest one away from the Exhibition Center, where I saw
Pied , Common,White-breasted Kingfishers,
2 Greenshank,
7 Black-winged Stilts
1 Little Ringed Plover
1 Painted Snipe
1 Drongo
1 Long-tailed Shrike
It may not be a good place for photography though as there were quite a few people coming into the hide.
