Abstract : Regular birding visit was carried out to Hadinaru lake, in the taluk of Nanjangud, Mysuru district. During bird watching, it was noticed the huge congregation of Bar-Headed Goose Anser indicus. One of the authors was also observed an Anser species similar to Grey lag Goose as the birds had put its neck the other side, after spending more time and keenly observing the bird a white patch above the pinkish beak was strongly prominent, though the yellow ring wasn’t properly visible once photographed the bird was easily distinguished. The present observation also stands to be the farthest inland record of the bird in the Indian Subcontinent.
