Bird photography at MPNR is tough in general. Arriving at the right place at the right time is curcial. There are only a few locations at MPNR with good direct lighting in the morning. Almost all the hides along 16/17 face the north-east direction which is no good until mid afternoon. The few with best light in the morning, eg #1, usually has NO bird close by unfortunately :'(
