Description
Summary:Based on 1420 neck-band reports we could map the movements of Tundra Bean Geese marked in northern Scandinavia. With few exceptions, the maps show a distinct migration pattern through Sweden to the main wintering area in NE Scania. In mild winters, only a few individuals extend their migration into continental Europe, but during severe winters, a large proportion of the sightings are from Germany and Denmark.
