This is a list of the bird species recorded in Lesotho. The avifauna of Lesotho include a total of 339 species, of which two have been introduced by humans and three are rare or accidental. One species listed is extirpated in Lesotho and is not included in the species count. Ten species are globally threatened. This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of ''The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World'', 5th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Lesotho. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories. * (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Lesotho * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Lesotho as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions * (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Lesotho although populations exist elsewhere __NOTOC__ ==Grebes== Order: PodicipediformesFamily: Podicipedidae Grebes are small to medium-large freshwater diving birds. They have lobed toes and are excellent swimmers and divers. However, they have their feet placed far back on the body, making them quite ungainly on land. There are 20 species worldwide and 3 species which occur in Lesotho. *Little grebe, ''Tachybaptus ruficollis'' *Great crested grebe, ''Podiceps cristatus'' *Black-necked grebe, ''Podiceps nigricollis'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of birds of Lesotho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
