sorry for poor pics, first time have seen one of these fly over, I missed the Little Pied Cormorant that also flew over but have had them before. Obviously don't do the 7pm - 8pm watch enough.

Yes could be a Darter that makes sense why we couldn't match the beak colouring to the Cormorants. Thank you very much, didn't think of it as the neck didn't look long enough.
