I've had some feedback from elsewhere and I think its actually a hooded Merganser.

Had to look at it in a bird book, and I'm not realy a birder, but it looks sort of simalar to the Killdeer.

Thanks for your answer. But I'm not too sure it is a Killdeer. This is more like a duck and is actually quite big. I'll keep searching.
