    I was down the local lake earlier, and I seen a bird it was like a cross between a duck and a vulture.

    A local reckons it's some kind of Japanese duck.

    Could have been dropped off or something.

    Probably the wrong thread for this but cormorant, muscovy duck, or a duck hybrid

    They are actually in the top 20 of our garden birds. Common and widespread throughout the country year round, with an influx on the east coast in Winter.

    Barn Owl heard at length last night, to and fro for a good while making its distinctive call. South Tipperary.
