Hello Ross, just had another look at this image, bit hard to tell with the back lighting but it might actually be a pied cormorant, will see what the others say.
Just had a closer look at the image in photoshop and there is a yellow mark in front of the eye, confirming this as a pied cormorant, there are quite a few of them around at the moment.
