Remarks :	This vagrant to India sporadically pops up (usually singly) at random wetlands across North and North-east India. Here is one from a jheel outside Dibru-Saikhowa National Park (eastern tip of Assam), where these geese and Falcated Ducks show-up in winter. I couldn't get the Falcated but was compensated by full frames of this goose that was hanging out with Ruddy Shelducks. - Ramki
