Anser fabalis serrirostris
Breeds in the Tundra zone of Siberia.
Scarce Winter Visitors to Britain, mainly to Norfolk from November-March.
Also winters in Holland & Denmark.
Rare in Summer.
The bill is black at the base and tip, with an orange band across the middle; the legs and feet are also bright orange.
The flight is similar to Pink-footed Geese.
The call is the best way to tell them apart, which has a loud honking, higher pitched qualtiy.
