Penguin Watch Talk

Too dark to see

  • Cazlhewitt by Cazlhewitt

    I can see some penguin forms but cannot discern the age, species or quantity of them. I have marked what I can.

    Hi, @Cazlhewitt- You've done the right thing by counting what you can. We are never asked to say what species we see (although it is helpful to know, only so you know what the young and adults look like), so that's not a problem, and the FAQs are clear that when we cannot tell what age penguins are, we mark as adult. 😉

    The only thing we ask you to add when you have a night (or otherwise obscured) image, is to choose "Too many penguins to count" after you have marked what you can. That's hat the scientists need us to do, and it is helpful to them.

    Thanks for asking about this. Others may benefit because you checked! 😃 Happy counting, and thank you.
