I headed out to Newquay and the Flaggy shore to see if any wildfowl was in the area. On Lough Murree
were a pair of Greater Scaup, a handful of Pochard, Tuftys and plenty of Wigeon and a Hybrid duck which had me confused, luckily here I met Dermot Breen, who has a good knowledge of ducks and we observed the bird showing signs of Lesser Scaup x Pochard. but very likely to be Tufted Duck x Pochard.
