Three Geese Pause in St. Petersburg on Migration
Wild geese rest on Elagin Island. Biologist and TV host Pavel Glazkov shared photos of three white-headed geese at the Kirov Central Park of Culture and Leisure in his Telegram channel.
Consensus
- Three white-fronted geese stopped at Yelaginsky Island in Saint Petersburg during migration.
- The geese are young, as indicated by the absence of a white patch on their foreheads.
- The geese are resting due to fatigue and are likely from the tundra.
- The island provides abundant grass and proximity to a river, making it suitable for rest.
- The geese may join a passing flock and continue to Western Europe for wintering.
- Biologist Pavel Glazkov advised against feeding the geese, as it could lead to them staying in the city until freezing weather.
