Birdlife
The birdlife attracts most lovers of wildlife to the Kingdom. Although there are less than 300 different species, many are montane rarities - the Orange-breasted Rockjumper, the Sentinel Rock-thrush and the Drakensberg Siskin - while others are downright spectacular.
The Maluti and Lesotho Drakensberg are said to be amongst the finest places in the world to watch Bearded Vultures and Black Eagle. But the glory of Lesotho is the Bald Ibis, which gives Mokhotlong its name. Exceptionally rare elsewhere in the world -Lesotho is its last stronghold - it is a wonderful prize for the photographer.
Letsie Lake and other wetlands provide an excellent habitat for waterbirds. See Birding in Lesotho and the bird checklist.
