The Bean Goose is a medium to large goose breeding in northern Europe and Asia. It has been split into two species by the AOU (2007), however it is still regarded as a single species by the BOU - see below. It is migratory and winters further south in Europe and Asia.
The length ranges from 68 to 90 cm (27–36 in), wingspan from 140 to 174 cm (55–69 in) and weight from 1.7–4 kg (3.7-8.8 lbs). The bill is black at the base and tip, with an orange band across the middle; the legs and feet are also bright orange.
The upper wing-coverts are dark brown, as in the White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons) and the Lesser White-fronted Goose (A. erythropus), but differing from these in having narrow white fringes to the feathers.
Its English and scientific names come from its habit in the past of grazing in bean field stubbles in winter (Latin faba, a bean).
There are five subspecies, with complex variation in body size and bill size and pattern; generally, size increases from north to south and from west to east. Some ornithologists (including AOU 2007) split them into two species based on breeding habitat, whether in forest bogs in the subarctic taiga, or on the arctic tundra.
