Second lifer of 2021! Tolderol and Browns Rd Birding

 Today my dad and I headed down to Tolderol Game Reserve to look for some birds. We saw a total of 30 species, including a Long-toed Stint - a lifer for me! Thanks to Sam Gordon for assistance with ID! We then decided to visit Browns Road, Monarto, where I saw a total of 14 species. No lifers but I did add a few species to the year list, and had a nice close encounter with a Striated Pardalote which landed on a branch less than 2m away! Species list after photos.
