"Geese field have a beak at the head of a yellow and in front of black. Geese fronted the slightly smaller and adult birds are highly visible white spot above the beak and darker head and neck. Both Nordic geese create a common flock. a flight fronted geese know well by black spots on the belly. "
Very rarely in flocks of geese and běločelých field also appear very rare lesser white-fronted goose. It is a small goose, which has a large white patch extending from the beak across his forehead to behind the eye. Around the eye also has a yellow circle. The Czech Republic has so far been found only about 20 times. This year, only one was found.
