1 Photos

The large gray goose appears bulky with an overall brownish-gray coloration, sporting a sizable pinkish-orange bill and legs. During flight, it displays a prominently pale gray leading edge on its upperwings, along with relatively light underwing coverts and a broad white tail tip. Compare this species to other gray geese by noting distinctions in bill pattern and color details, head and neck markings, as well as the presence of dark underwings. Found in lakes, marshes, wetlands, and occasionally urban parks within its European habitat, this goose thrives in diverse environments.
