It is [[migration|migratory]]. It winters in northwest Europe, especially [[Great Britain]], the [[Netherlands]], and western [[Denmark]]. It is a medium-sized goose, 60–75&nbsp;cm (24–30&nbsp;in) long. The wingspan is 135–170&nbsp; (53–67&nbsp;in) cm. It weighs 1.8–3.4&nbsp;kg (4–7.5 lbs). It has a short bill, bright pink in the middle with a black base and tip, and pink feet.

This gives protection from [[mammal]]ian predators (mainly [[Arctic Fox]]). Three to six eggs are laid in early to mid May in Iceland, late May in Svalbard. [[Incubation]] lasts 26–27 days. On hatching, the goslings go with the parents on foot to the nearest lake. They fledge after about 56 days. Southbound migration is from mid September to early October, and northbound from mid April to early May.<ref name=bwp>Cramp S. 1977. ''The Birds of the Western Palearctic''.
