You are probably right but there was only one early in the morning.

I have downloaded the original photo, cropped it and added it back to aid in identification, as requested by Chris Davey.

Sorry, poor photo, taken with phone, at a distance. The top one had just emerged from the water and was glistening. Very attractive.

From the enlarged image I am happy that we have two Little Pied Cormorant. The bills are too short for Pied Cormorants. Chris
