Darting about Magnetic Island are tiny Plover chicks , often running near or crossing roads .
Our free roaming photographer Vallis took these shots of a noisy parent Plover making alarm calls with three hard to see tiny puffball chicks which ran onto a road after the other parent, in front of a car . Visitors to the island should always be on the alert for a variety of birds and wallabies which might venture onto the roadway .
