Greater White-fronted Goose - Tundragås - Anser albifrons
Blasgås - Blisgås - Tundrahanhi


Whitefronts are an infrequent autumn migrant and occasional winter visitoe in Øygarden. Most records refer to the ssp albifrons but occasional flavirostris birds (all the way from Greenland!) have also been documented. They usually turn up in fields at places like Breivik or Tjeldstø.
