Where to spot
Widespread across the Northern Hemisphere, breeding in Arctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, and wintering in temperate zones further south. Look for them in agricultural fields and wetlands.
How to spot
Identify by the white patch at the base of the bill, the orange or pink bill itself, and the variably present black barring on the belly. Listen for its high-pitched, yelping call, often described as 'kow-lyuk'.
When to spot
Best observed during autumn and spring migration, and throughout the winter in their diverse non-breeding grounds. They are less accessible on their remote Arctic breeding territories.

The 'white-front' on this goose's face becomes more pronounced with age, making it easier to identify older individuals from juveniles, which initially lack this feature.
