Imperial Shag, formerly Blue-eyed and King Cormorant, Phalacrocorax  atriceps, Paulet Island, Erebus and Terror Gulf, Antarctic peninsula
The white-breasted cormorant (Phalacrocorax lucidus) is the only form of great cormorant found in Sub-Saharan Africa, the only form that has strictly freshwater populations and the only form with a white breast and throat; it does however interbreed freely with dark-breasted forms in central Africa
It's breeding season on the Farne Islands and this Shag is one of the thousands and thousands of birds to be found there at this time of year.

The white-breasted cormorant (Phalacrocorax lucidus) is much like the widespread great cormorant and if not a regional variant of the same species, is at least very closely related. It is distinguished from other forms of the great cormorant by its white breast and by the fact that subpopulations are freshwater birds. Phalacrocorax lucidus is not to be confused with the smaller and very different endemic South Australian black-faced cormorant, which also is sometimes called the white-breasted cormorant.
