I've no personal experience of woodland photography, but just to add some thoughts from a birdwatcher:

Do it as early in the morning as you can bear - birds are most active then, feeding up after the night, and may be more confiding. There's also less chance of disturbance.

Woodland edge is probably better than deep woodland - if you can find the eastern edge of a wood (or western edge of a clearing), warming up in the early morning sun, there'll be good light and lots of activity.

Scout out some likely spots beforehand, set yourself up before dawn, and be patient.
