Jougla Point has a small colony of Blue-eyed Shags. The birds, like penguins, are not bothered by having humans about five meters away. In the northern hemisphere we call these birds cormorants. Unlike penguins which have, at most, two chicks, shags can have up to four chicks in the nest which leads to crowded conditions. We also saw a Weddell Seal here and some Gentoo Penguins mixed in with the shags.
