@ Red-Necked Stints Adelaide is often called the City of Churches. It’s not because there are a lot of churches (although it does have a lot!) it’s because right from the start there was freedom of religion and so there were many different places of worship including churches, mosques, synagogues and temples. Red-Necked Stints Red-necked stints are one of the smallest wading birds, only 5.1-6.7 inches in length. They are very gregarious birds and will form flocks with other small wading birds.
