Pink-footed Goose (Anser brachyrhynchus)
White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)
Pink bill and legs distinguishes it from Bean Goose. This can however be a deceiving character in poor light. Also differs from Bean Goose by pale grey,not brownish, upperparts. The darkest part of the body is the flanks (Bean Goose have equally dark flanks and back).
Sound:Similar to Bean Goose and White-fronted Goose, but more nasal and a little higher pitched than the first, and less musical and laughing than the second. Easily told from Greylag Goose by frequent nasal, high pitched "wink-wink".

Often soars high in flocks like raptors.
Sound:Mostly silent. Loud, modulated bill-clattering from both sexes is heard during courtship/display.
