Strange birds?

  • Dazeoo by Dazeoo

    They don't look like penguins as far as I'm aware, but I couldn't figure out what kind of birds they are.

    These are cormorants, also called shags. Mark them as "Other" without choosing a species. So, "Other" blue mark, then "OK".

    We've had several threads in the Discussion threads talking about the cormorants at this new site, and the challenge of marking them especially when the nesting Chinstraps are here in a couple of months. Have a look at this helpful comparison chart: Chinstrap/Cormorant Comparison Chart
