== Distribution and habitat == The lesser white-fronted goose winters further south in Europe and is a rare winter vagrant to [[Great Britain]] and [[India]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Khan|first=Asif N.|date=2013-12-01|title=First Record of Lesser White-Fronted Goose Anser erythropus from Gujarat, India|url=http://www.bnhsjournal.org/index.php/bnhs/article/view/94037|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170307051042/http://www.bnhsjournal.org/index.php/bnhs/article/view/94037|url-status=usurped|archive-date=March 7, 2017|journal= Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society|language=en|volume=110|issue=3|pages=224|doi=10.17087/jbnhs/2013/v110i3/94037|doi-broken-date=1 November 2024|issn=0006-6982}}</ref> Individual birds formerly appeared regularly at [[WWT Slimbridge]] in [[Gloucestershire]], England, where they inspired [[Sir Peter Scott]] to set up The [[Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust]]โmodern records, however, are far less frequent, a consequence of the species' decline on its [[Europe]]an breeding grounds. An attractive species, it is also widely kept in wildfowl collections and, as a result, escapes do occur; individuals seen in [[summer]], or in the company of other [[Feral animal|feral]] geese, are likely to be of captive origin.
