Night call like a quack?

    First time poster...hoping someone will have come across this before and can solve a mini mystery.

    I was out in the garden (rural Wexford) at 23.00 tonight. Something flew overhead that I couldn't see, but it sounded like a duck quacking.

    What could it have been? Could it have actually been a duck? As I have never heard a duck fly at night, I was thinking maybe a duck had been disturbed by a predator...but it didn't sound alarmed or distressed. Tried listening to nocturnal calls of various birds thanks to Google...but didn't find anything similar.

    Any thoughts?

    Welcome aboard, Ducks do fly at night so if you're sure it 'sounded like a Duck' I'd go with that.....
