On this
rainy Sunday we went out on the ocean, to find cetaceans. We left the rain
behind and the Atlantic spotted dolphins found us shortly after, on our way to
the sperm whales. That’s why we
continued after a short sighting of the smallest species which visits the
Azores. When we arrived in the whale zone we watched several individuals even
showing their majestical flukes. One tail was telling it’s tale of life. A well
cured injury was marking a deep cut on his tail stock. But then an upright blow
of a baleen whale was catching our eye and we followed the sei whale for a
while, but we were not the only ones, so did the Atlantic spotted dolphins. From
the zodiacs could common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins been watched and even a Bryde´s whale. We can consider us very lucky to have seen
representors of several classes, tooth whales and baleen whales, residents and
seasonal species and even the migratory spring time species.
