As usual, I am no expert but thinking Little Black Cormorant, possibly immature, based on the brown rather than black feathers. I guess the other possibility is an immature Great Comorant, which based on feather colouring and the beak shape is credible. Wait for someone with more experience to confirm (I am still learning and occasionally offer advice to test my knowledge and learn more)
Thank you to both of you! I take it that is an immature LBC Bashir? I am only beginning to appreciate water birds, I have focused a lot more on bush birds up till now.
