hi
I'm new here and hope i am placing this in the correct place !!!
We were up in the highlands at the weekend and saw a really strange bird just at the side of the road.
it was a black/ grey colour and had an enormous white tuft on its head- a definite David Bowie lookalike!
Any ideas ??
Someone I spoke to at the local pub nearby said it may have escaped from a farm and not be a wild bird ?????
Sounds like a type of domestic duck - was it duck-like?

Ah now, that would all depend whether you were on about Bowie from the Ziggy era, as the 'Thin White Duke', on the 'Stage' tour, dressed as a Pierrot clown or 1257 other image changes...? 
Seriously, sounds like a Muscovy Duck?
Regards,
Harry
