Today we enjoyed the company of our three resident dolphin species: common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and Risso’s dolphins. We had really nice conditions for seeing these beautiful animals, with calm waters, nice soft light and reflections in the almost mirror-like water. As well as the dolphins we also encountered a lot of shearwaters and Portuguese man-o-war in the water (a good sign that the spring is here).
