  Hi @mia.bd !

  These ones look like #Adélie penguins to me. But you don't have to classify the species. Just count the adults/chicks/eggs.. There is a guide with images of adults and chicks under the classification image (scroll down) which can help you to distinguish between them. Adult adélies have the characteristic white circles around their eyes. Their chicks don't have it!

  But when you can't distinguish between them, because they are for example too far or so on, then feel free to mark them all as adults. It is the safe choice.

  Thanks for your effort. Enjoy the project:)

  Z.

  These are gentoos here. Like @yshish said, you don't have to worry about the species- the guide is there just to help you distinguish between adults and chicks.
