The Greylag is the largest and bulkiest of the grey Anser geese. It has a rotund, bulky body, a thick and long neck, and a large head and bill. It has pink legs and feet, and an orange or pink bill. Males are generally larger than females. The plumage of the Greylag Goose is greyish-brown, with a darker head and paler belly with variable black spots. From Wiki.
Seen near marshes of Nalsarovar.
The guide had totally confused me on the id. He said he was 100% positive these are bar headed goose and I kept searching for the juveniles.
