The Shit Duck.

The shit duck was first spotted on a recent expidision to a holiday home outside Montrose, Scotland, UK. Its orrigins are unclear, but on the trip several seasoned twitchers (located in nearbye hide) failed to spot it. This leads us to believe it has never been documented before. Its behaviour is bizzare and over the course of the trip we observed it patiently collecting faeces from the surrounding beach and grass dunes and smearing itself in this. At one point it was so covered it was hardly recognisable as a duck. We believe the rational behind this strange behaviour is to disguist other ducks/birds in the region, thus freeing up valuable feeding/breeding ground. This remains a mute point and we would appreciate other users views. Several attempts to catch a sample for scientific testing were unsuccessful. We have no conclusive photographic evidence yet due to the ducks great disguise and eminent shyness. However on our next trip we hope to have longer focal length lens and are planing to capture an accurate image from afar. We hope other users can help us further understand this strange and elusive example of the duck family.
