I've a similar project to build a system that can automatically photograph
birds or other animals.  There are no robotics involved - the intention is
to capture images not video so its not a good way of detecting overflying
Fig-parrots or IBWPs. There is a brief description here:

with a few images from a trial run at Idalia NP here:

Unfortunately recent rains meant nothing was coming to drink.
