Bean goose

 

Inhabits the tundra, lasotundra and taiga of Eurasia. It winters spotted in a belt from western Europe to Japan, but can also recently be observed in winter in Poland, as flocks of dozens move from feeding grounds to nesting sites several times a day. Unfortunately, the feeding grounds are fields with emerging winter cereals.

The Bean Goose is browner than the Greater White-fronted Goose, with a darker head and neck and back. The beak of the goose is paler and the legs are pinkish.

A game bird (from 1 September to 21 December).
