Double-crested Cormorant Phalacrocorax auritus

An extremely rare vagrant to the UK from North America, yet to be recorded in Norfolk. The only photos I have are from the west coast of North America and these birds belong to the race albociliatus which differs from the eastern birds most likely to occur here in the adults having white tufts behind the eye.
