Having driven up through the dramatic craggy valley from South Africa flanked by the spectacular Drakensberg Mountains we arrived at the infamous Sani Pass, site of the highest pub in all of Africa. Not only a great tourist attraction but a top birding venue in its own right. While we supped local Maluti beer on the balcony of the highest pub, we watched a pair of Drakensberg Rockjumpers hopping around the boulders behind the pub, and Drakensberg Siskins came and sung from the rocks beside us. Also in attendance were a couple of Cape Buntings, Sentinel Rock-thrush, and the bizarre Sloggett's Ice Rat. A little further into Lesotho we came upon a displaying Mountain Pipit, and Southern Grey Tit before we descended dramatically back into South Africa once more, enjoying Gurney's Sugarbirds feeding in the flowering proteas, and a Barratt's warbler singing from the brush, on this return leg.
