The author presents the results of the HUNGARIAN GEESE MONITORING (Table 1.) for 2024/2025 in the form of a data base. After reviewing the basic data recorded at each site of observation (Table 3-21.) he analyses the obtained data separately for each species, i.e. Brant Goose (Branta bernicla) (Table 22., Map 1., Figure 1-2), Barnacle Goose (Branta leucopsis) (Table 23., Map 2., Figure 3-4.), Red-breasted Goose (Branta ruficollis) (Table 24., Map 3., Figure 5-6.), Greylag Goose (Anser anser) (Table 25., Map 4., Figure 7–9.), Tundra Bean Goose (Anser serrirostris rossicus) (Table 26., Map 5., Figure 10–12.), Taiga Bean Goose (Anser fabalis) (Table 27, Map 6., Figure 13.), White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons) (Table 28., Map 7., Figure 14-16.), Lesser White-fronted Goose (Anser erythropus) (Table 29., Map 8., Figure 17-18.), as well as for the total of observed geese (Table 30., Figure 19-22.). In respect of dominance – when data recorded monthly in each of the observed sites (Table 3-21., Figure 22.) or those referring to the total of geese present in Hungary (Table 31., Figure 23.) are analysed, it is found that in conformity with the numbers of individuals, also in the season 2024/2025 White-fronted Goose was the most common goose species in Hungary (max. 150 147 birds, max. 92%), followed by Greylag Goose (max. 48 546 birds, max. 100%), Tundra Bean Goose (79 birds, max. ±%) ranking third. Dominance of Red-breasted Goose (max. 43 birds, 0-±%) and Lesser White-fronted Goose (max. 7 birds, 0% to
