Spotted
The genus Anser encompasses a variety of 'true geese' found across the Northern Hemisphere. These large waterfowl are often recognized by their stout bodies, long necks, and varied grey, white, or brown plumage.
Where to spot
Look for Anser geese in open habitats such as agricultural fields, grasslands, wetlands, large lakes, and coastal marshes. They are widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and North America.
How to spot
Scan large flocks for variations in size, neck length, bill color, and plumage patterns. Listen for their distinctive honking or gabbling calls, which can vary between species. Binoculars are essential for differentiating subtle features.
When to spot
Best observed during their migration periods in spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), or throughout the winter in their temperate non-breeding ranges.

Many Anser species are highly migratory, undertaking epic annual journeys between their Arctic or sub-Arctic breeding grounds and temperate wintering areas.
