TheGreylag Goose: Close Up HD Footage (Anser anser)

The Greylag Goose, or Anser anser in science speak, is a big bird you might spot in the UK. These geese are pretty chunky, with grey feathers and orange beaks. They're noisy too - you'll hear them honking away as they fly overhead.
These geese love hanging out near water, like lakes and marshes. They eat all sorts of plants, and you'll often see them grazing in fields. In the wild, they usually live for about 10 to 15 years.
Greylag Geese are clever birds. They stick together in big groups and take turns keeping watch for danger. When it's time to have babies, they make nests on the ground near water. The mum lays about 5 to 6 eggs and sits on them for a month until they hatch.
Interestingly, these geese are the ancestors of most farmyard geese. So next time you see a goose on a farm, you can thank the Greylag! They're pretty common in the UK, especially in the winter when lots come from colder places to visit.
