BAKKER D (1950) A new breeding-case of Anser a. anser (L.) in the Netherlands. LIMOSA 23 (3): 357-364.

The latest breeding record of the grey lag-goose in the Netherlands dates from 1909. At April 7th, 1950 a nest of this species was found in the Northeastpolder, after the presumed breeding of this bird in 1948 and 1949. The nest was found in a region of about 55 acres of shallow pools with a vegetation of reed (Phragmites communis Trin.) and club rush (Scirpus macitimus L.). The nest was surrounded by water of a depth of about 30 ems. It was built of dead reed stalks and attached at the reed vegetation. Not floating. The top of the nest was about 25 ems above the watersur£ace. The measures of the nest are shown in table 1. The weights and measures of the four slightly bred eggs are mentioned in table 2.
      Unfortunately after the discovery of the nest the birds did not return and so nest and eggs have been deposited in the State Museum of Natural History at Leyden.
