Another adventure at the sea today! For the last few days
the wind has been blowing along the coast, making our tours more wild and adventurous.
Some of the animals that we have seen these days are enjoying the waves, giving
us a show!

Today we have seen different family groups of dolphins from
two different species: common and bottlenose dolphin.
two different species: common and bottlenose dolphin.
The group of common dolphins was really fast, breaking the
surface with their dorsal fins… In the same area, searching for food we had
Cory’s shearwaters. About 60% of the world’s population of Cory’s Shearwaters nests
and breeds in the Azores. This year we are seeing many groups of this bird
during our tours, they feed on the same species of fish than the common dolphins
so we see them together in the same area really often.

Dolphins are well known for their agility and playful
behavior and today we could see it by
ourselves. The group of bottlenose dolphins was surfing the waves really fast, it looked like they enjoyed swimming fast!
