Gettin' the hang of it I'' definitely check this goose type when I next visit the shelter. I could not find it on Google, can you? It looks wise, experienced. I like the look of it, with its nice brown and warm colours. Anser cygnoides,Geotagged,Swan Goose,The Netherlands,goose,neck Click/tap to enlarge

The swan goose is a large goose with a natural breeding range in inland Mongolia, Northeast China, and the Russian Far East. It is migratory and winters mainly in central and eastern China. Vagrant birds are encountered in Japan and Korea, and more rarely in Kazakhstan, Laos, coastal Siberia, Taiwan, Thailand and Uzbekistan.
