I think Arthur Morris would look for a spot where he'd have the birds in front of him, and the sun and wind behind him. Because he'd have studied the map of where he was, he'd keep walking until he arrived at a spot that gave him that alignment (predominantly). Because he'd have studied the data of where he was, he'd know the sunrise/sunset times, predominant wind, likely spots, etc., and would then set up the longest lens he'd brought (probably the 800/5.6) on tripod, 400/5.6 on a shoulder, 70-200 on a third body somewhere within reach, and a 24-105 or 16-35 (lens only) in his vest. He'd also choose an amount of exposure compensation based on the notes in his books, or perhaps manual exposure if the camera meter is too dumb to get it right (with EC).
