Birds at Lake Grassmere, Marlborough, New Zealand

On a bleak spring evening we spotted these birds which we thought were Golden Plovers. However on closer inspection I’m not sure. Can you help us?

On another matter while in Husavik, Iceland we noticed alot of dead snipe on the ground around a wetland area. They appeared to be undamaged and with no obvious wounds. Do Snipe die of natural causes in this area or is it something else. Any ideas would be most interesting.
