Öland goose

Of the local goose species, only the Öland and Skåne survive. The two look very similar, although the Öland is slightly greyer. Its plumage is white with brownish grey areas on the head, neck, back and thighs. The beak and legs are bright orange. Geese are highly territorial and guard rigorously against intruders. The ganders, or males, thus made excellent watchdogs on Öland’s farms.
