    Well done- this is a very tricky new site. As it happens they are cormorants, not predators of penguins so not in the Other list. When you see a cormorant or any animal not in the list, please just mark it as "Other" without choosing a species. This is discussed in FAQs 5th AL. 😃

    The cormorants nest all along the cliff edge, and a Chinstrap rookery is closer to the camera and starts up a bit later. We've seen a Snowy sheathbill and a skua here too.

    Love that ice!
