info

We saw bar-headed geese on several occasions during our trip. We could observe them near water, often in the company of ruddy shelducks and Mongolian herring gulls. We never saw single specimens, but always small flocks numbering several or a dozen or so specimens. The best pictures were taken on a little pond, with camouflage, although I just wanted to photograph red-crested pochards. I did not succeed with red-crested pochards, but pictures of bar-headed geese and Mongolian herring gulls were taken. On the right side, for a moment, horned grebes appeared, but they were at a significant distance. In the middle of the pond there was a small islet, where all the above mentioned species and the grey heron had their nests. Unfortunately I neglected the recording of the geese’s sound and it is of poor quality. The soundtrack has been cleaned from the voices of white-winged terns, which were much closer than the geese and produced sounds much more often.
