Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Look for pairs or small family groups. While they can form larger flocks, especially outside the breeding season, pairs are often seen together, sometimes with their goslings.
2. Listen for their distinctive calls. Their loud, often harsh vocalizations are a good way to locate them, even before you see them.
3. Observe their grazing behavior. They spend a significant amount of time grazing on land, similar to true geese, which can help distinguish them from dabbling ducks.
4. Check for white wing patches in flight. If a bird takes flight, the large white patches on its wings are an unmistakable field mark.

Migrazione

Generally resident in its native African range, with some local movements in response to water availability. Feral European populations are largely resident, though some individuals may undertake short-distance dispersal.
