Thanks Linda, my default ID is cormorant It's odd because shag outnumber cormorants in the UK.

Shag UK breeding birds 27,000 pairs & UK wintering 110,000 birds
Cormorant UK breeding birds 9,018 pairs 7 UK wintering 41,000 birds

check you going all factual on me It's noted but shall it be remembered

It doesn't help me with the ID, I only remember reading it because I know my default is cormorant.
