strange bird seen in scottish highlands



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
