Description
The swan goose is a large goose with a striking, bi-coloured neck. The back of the neck and crown are dark brown whilst the front is a light cream (2). The bill is black in colour, with a white band across the forehead separating it from the dark crown (2). The plumage on the back is also brown (2). These geese give a resounding 'honk' alarm call (2).
