4 Little Ringed Plovers, 2 Kingfishers

I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find 4 Little Ringed Plovers on the mud on the reserve, possibly a family party and my first here of the year; they were visible from the gap in the trees overlooking the reserve pool from the track;  unfortunately I couldn't get all of them in the viewfinder at once, but here's two.  

From  the hide I saw two Kingfishers, flitting around the reserve but not settling.
