Sleeping Bar-headed Goose At Phoenixsee Lake (Dortmund-Hoerde) Stock Image

Originating in Asia, the bar-headed goose can be found in Europe due to accidental escapes from captivity or deliberate introduction. As the Phoenixsee lake provides a large water surface and lawn areas which provide large amounts of short grass on which geese feed on, it has attracted large populations of wild or feral geese. While Egyptian geese and Canada geese are prevalent, the bar-headed goose is still an exception. [bar-headed goose,Anser indicus,water bird,Phoenix See]
