Eastwards it extends across Asia to China. In North America there are both feral domestic geese, which are similar to greylags, and occasional vagrants. The geese are migratory, moving south or west in winter, but Scottish breeders, some other populations in northwestern Europe, and feral flocks are largely resident. This species is one of the last to migrate, and the &#8220;lag&#8221; portion of its name is said to derive from this lagging behind other geese.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-17-14770\">\n\n\n\n    \t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-9849\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box nggvote-33\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/greylag-goose-anser-anser\/greylag-goose-_0_wm.jpg\" title=\"Greylag Goose (Anser anser)\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Greylag Goose (Anser anser)\" alt=\"Greylag Goose (Anser anser)\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/greylag-goose-anser-anser\/thumbs\/thumbs_greylag-goose-_0_wm.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Greylag Goose (Anser anser)<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n \t\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-8320\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box nggvote-33\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/greylag-goose-anser-anser\/greylag_goose_0.jpg\" title=\"Greylag Goose Anser Anser\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Greylag Goose Anser Anser\" alt=\"Greylag Goose Anser Anser \" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/greylag-goose-anser-anser\/thumbs\/thumbs_greylag_goose_0.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Greylag Goose Anser Anser <\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n \t\n\t<!-- Pagination -->\n \t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Video made by <a href=\"https:\/\/avibirds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Avibirds<\/a> team:<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T0qYRz2oDmI\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Birdsong:<\/h2>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-14770-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/greylag_goose.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/greylag_goose.mp3\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/greylag_goose.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greylag Goose is found throughout the Old World, apparently breeding where suitable localities are to be found in many European countries, although it no longer breeds in southwestern Europe.
