Myself and my mate Enda do quite a bit of wild fowling and Thursday evening last he shot a rather unusual duck,just looking for some more insight into this and has anyone else across the country ever seen one.

LIFFY FISHING

Commonly known as a Woozle Woozle bird, seemingly it flys so amazingly fast in ever decreasing circles, it dissapears up its own hole!

Looks like Muscovy X Mallard
Muscovy would give the size.

You hit the nail on the head . Couple of duck santuary on the Shannon people who had pet ducks or came across injured ones released them into these santury ! Not worrying about the implications . These big mallard are turning up more and more and it was highlighted in the shooter digest sometime ago

Looks like a dead duck to me

Have seen a lot of them on a river on our land that boaders a golf corse with "pet" ducks on it ,you see more and more each year it is defenitly a hybrid duck, these will be common enough in a 10 or more years.

if they are mallard muscovy xs then they will be infertile anyway
