Penguin Watch Talk

Unsure of species.

  • Salomien by Salomien

    At the edge of the cliff, near the water (off centre to the left) there appear to be two black and white birds. What species is this? They don't appear as an option under the 'Other' selection.

    Hey, @AvastMH has replied your question below the image, that they are Entarctic shags, Imperial Cormorants or Blue-eyed shags (various names for the same species). You can mark them as Other just without choosing the species as they are not listed there. You may see more unlisted animals there, like seals. We mark them all as Other animals 😉 Check out the FAQs for more information.

    Enjoy the project.

    @Salomien The Antarctic shags are beautiful. Pay special attention to FAQ 6, where there is a great set of photos showing how to distinguish them from similar looking Chinstrap penguins, also nesting at this rookery. Thanks for your efforts. FAQ link
