Description: | This small goose spends the summer in the arctic, breeding in Iceland and the islands of Spitzburgen and Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Ocean. They graze on the tundra grasses in the short arctic summer. When the weather turns colder at the end of August, the birds fly south to spend the winter in Europe, mainly on the coast of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The flocks arrive in September and fly north again at the end of April. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
