Short billed, stocky necked and long tailed - I'd agree with Pygmy cormorant.

Thank's a lot Daniel !
So I understand that's for sure ?
I asked couple of times in other forums without any help ... Or people claimed that is great cormorant.

Robust neck and long, but perhaps not long enough, tail seem to point to Great Cormorant?

Hi Michal,
I just tried to check ornitho.pl to see how frequently Pygmy Cormorants are reported in Poland, but though my ornitho.de login works, I'm not allowed to query the ornitho.pl database because I don't have entered the minimum number of records there. (Silly policy, if you ask me!)
In Germany at least, there are quite a few records for Pygmy Cormorants each year, mostly in the South though. Hardly any north of 52° N (Warsaw's latitude, for reference).
Regards,
Henning

Thanks so much for your help in recognizing.
In response to your commnets:
I just once saw pygmy cormorant - in croatia too. And I really paid attention the fast movement of the wings
That one cormorant is from Polland and I saw that bird year ago - before croatian observation
one thing which was wondering me was that long - in my opinion - tail. I do not remember anything more.
In ornitho there are 97 observations of pygmy in 25 squares (2008-2017) rather in south or east regions. Yes - it's strange policy.I do not think it would be an incentive to enter data

Now that's a long tail! Very nice indeed...
