What are these?

    I can see animals, but I can't tell what they are.

    Hello lovelybirdprince,

    The other birds are cormorants, also called shags. To mark them chose the 'other' list, put the blue circle-cross on the bird, and then press OK. You do not need to select anything from the list, just press OK. Thank you 😃

    They are cormorants/shags. Read the FAQs to learn that any animal not on the Other list (which includes only predators of pengins- and vessels), should be marked as Other without choosing a species. They nest all along that far cliff edge (continuing down to the left but can be hard to mark with certainly along there.) There are no visible penguins in this image.

    The tricky thing is being certain which are cormorants and which are penguins once the Chinstrap rookery here fills up. AvastMH has made a dandy comparison chart to help. Just go slowly and mark what you're sure of. 😃
