azwhales
We had a beautiful
morning today, sun shining and fin whales waiting for us! We started the trip
going straight for the whales, following the instructions of our look outs. We
enjoyed the company of two fin whales for a while, they were doing dives for
seven minutes more or less and once on the surface we were able to see the
distinct white coloration of the right side of the lower jaw. The fin
whales were amazing but we wanted more! So, once again with the help of the
look outs we could find a group of our resident bottlenose dolphins . They were
spread out in a big area but we could see some of them really close to our
boat. We were happy to see our friend Egípcio in this group. Coming back
to the marina we could also see some species of sea birds like common terns and
yellow legged gulls, of course during the entire trip we came across many Cory´s shearwaters. Despite of
the sun during the morning, we had to cancel the trip in the afternoon due to
the weather conditions (strong winds and rough sea) but we hope you enjoyed the
pictures from the lovely morning!
