Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Look for flocks. Outside the breeding season, Greylag Geese are highly gregarious and often found in large flocks, sometimes mixed with other goose species.
2. Listen for calls. Their loud, distinctive honking calls are often heard before the birds are seen, especially when they are flying overhead.
3. Observe feeding behavior. They are primarily grazers, so look for them feeding in open grassy areas or agricultural fields.
4. Check for pale forewings. When observing flying geese, pay close attention to the upperwing pattern; the pale grey forewings are a definitive identification feature.

Migrazione

Northern populations are migratory, moving south for the winter. Southern and western European populations are largely resident or undertake shorter, local movements. Migration occurs in large flocks, often at night.
