26-2-2021 DESEMBOCADURA RIO ALGAR, ALTEA - GREYLAG GOOSE (JUVENILE) (Anser anser)

Young greylags stay with their parents as a family group, migrating with them in a larger flock, and only dispersing when the adults drive them away from their newly established breeding territory the following year. At least in Europe, patterns of migration are well understood and follow traditional routes with known staging sites and wintering sites. The young learn these locations from their parents which normally stay together for life.
