Out in a friendly comp today. at our club loch (is they're really such a thing) and mid way during the afternoon I noticed 4 birds approaching .I had a strange feeling these were not Gulls. We are about midway between the river Forth and river Clyde,about 40 miles each way.and I identified them as 4 immature Gannets.WOW.what a sighting heading west to (i hope the Clyde).
Brilliant.

Aye, but would that not be the subspecies of P. carbo, namely P. carbo sinensis? So, technically still the great cormorant, P. carbo?

Wiki could be clearer now that the sinensis subspecies has become more abundant here, right enough.
