Dotterels and Stilts .........

I hope I've got their names correct
the little plump close-to-the-ground birds are Red-Kneed Dotterel
and the birds with those elegant long red legs are Pied Stilts

Both are seen in and around wetland and swamp areas
and seem to generally stay in pairs

I love how the Dotterel stand still in the shallows
with their dumpy outline clearly reflected.

These pics were taken at the Greenfield Wetlands
