The month of May was another good one for whale watching in São Miguel. This month we saw 9 cetacean species:
- Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis)
- Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
- Striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba)
- Rissos dolphins (Grampus griseus)
- Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)
- Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)
- Blue whales (Baleanoptera musculus)
- Sei whales (Baleanoptera borealis)
- Fin whales (Baleanoptera physalus)
This month is also off to a good start so far. In the past 2 days we have already seen sperm whales, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins and Rissos dolphins!
