The Greylag Goose, scientifically known as Anser anser, is a magnificent bird that can be found in various locations across Europe. In Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany, one can witness the beauty of this species as it stands gracefully in a meadow. The sight is truly captivating. In Antwerpen, Belgium during March, another fascinating behavior of the Greylag Geese unfolds - fighting. These birds engage in intense battles that showcase their strength and determination. It's a spectacle to behold. Southern Norway becomes a stage for yet another remarkable display by these geese. As they take flight from a serene lake in March, their synchronized movements create an awe-inspiring scene against the backdrop of nature's wonders. Cley, Norfolk in the UK also witnesses the presence of these majestic creatures during March. Through digital composite techniques, photographers capture their elegance and grace as they roam around this picturesque location. But it's not just adults that captivate our hearts; even goslings are adorable beyond measure. In Kiskunsagi National Park and Pusztaszer Hungary, we find Graylag goslings resting comfortably under their parent's protective wings. This heartwarming sight reminds us of the strong bond between family members within the animal kingdom. Throughout history and artistry alike, geese have played intriguing roles. From 19th-century lithographs depicting humorous encounters between geese and other animals to engravings showcasing political events like duels or famine relief efforts involving millions of geese arriving from Russia - these birds have left an indelible mark on human culture. Even statues pay homage to them. In 1810 engravings depict statues featuring boys with geese or girls playing dice alongside goose companions - highlighting their significance in society at that time.
