Alex Driscoll, 9, was walking down Gammons lane to school when he saw a bird-like creature 6ft (1.8 m) tall or taller standing outside a gate at the side of the house. 

The gate was about 18 inches (45.72 cm) off the ground and about 5 or 6 feet (1.5-1.8 m) high, so all he could see were the feet and lower legs under the gate, and the neck and head above the fence. 

At first Driscoll thought it was someone in a suit, until he saw its paws, webbed and orange, like the paws of a giant duck. It had no feathers, only thick black fur on its head and, Driscoll assumed, on its body. His face looked like the "Big bird" character from sesame Street, except for the fur. It had an orange beak, bigger than a duck's. 

The witness left the place and did not see the strange creature leave.

9-year old Alex Driscoll was walking to school on Gammons Lane when he saw a 6 ft tall or taller bird-like creature that was standing behind a gate on the side of a house. The gate was about 18inches of the ground and about 5 or 6 ft high, so all he could see was its feet and lower legs below the gate and its neck and head above the fence. At first Driscoll thought it was somebody wearing a costume until he saw its feet that were webbed and orange in color, like giant duck’s feet. It did not have any feathers, but thick black fur on its head and Driscoll presumed on its body. Its face was similar to the “Big Bird” character in Sesame Street, except for the fur. It had an orange beak, larger than a duck’s. The witness left the area and did not see the strange creature depart.
