Svensson, Filip
There are a number of species of geese in Sweden that can be found in large flocks during spring migration, but are also relatively numerous during breeding. The accumulation of geese can cause damage to growing crops, something that costs farmers and the state a large amount annually. In this study, nesting geese were counted in fields in the vicinity of Lake Tåkern, Southern Sweden, during six days in the spring in the year 2015. Their location on the fields was noted to investigate any preferences regarding distances to the lake, buildings, trees and roads. The conclusion is that proximity to water was the factor that had the greatest importance in field selection, but it also showed that they avoid trees but not settlements and roads.
