Breeding, migration and presence of the western subspecies of the bean goose Anser fabalis in the Murmansk region (northwest Russia) were previously reported in the publications of ornithologists. In this paper, we present some data on the breeding ecology of the bean goose Anser fabalis rossicus (Buturlin 1933) on Kildin Island. The presented data contain information about the nesting areas of the subspecies on the island, the number of eggs in the clutch, the composition of nesting material, and the fact of successful breeding here is presented.
