Spotted
The Tundra Bean Goose is a large, dark brown goose, similar to the Taiga Bean Goose, but typically with a shorter neck and a bill that usually shows more black than orange.
Where to spot
Breeds on the Arctic tundra of northern Europe and Siberia, wintering across central and eastern Europe and parts of Asia, often in agricultural areas and wetlands.
How to spot
Distinguish from the Taiga Bean Goose by its typically shorter, stockier neck, and a bill that usually has a larger black base and less extensive orange. Its preferred open tundra breeding habitat is also a clue.
When to spot
Most observable during autumn and spring migration periods and throughout the winter in their more temperate feeding grounds. Rare sightings on their vast tundra breeding grounds.

Unlike its taiga-dwelling counterpart, the Tundra Bean Goose prefers open habitats for breeding, nesting on tundra plains and near Arctic water bodies.
