Unsettled sea conditions have allowed us to go out on only 8 days during the month of February. However, during this month´s tours we were still able to have succesful encounters with our resident common dolphins (delphinus delphis) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that stay in the area all year. In February we were also lucky to see beaked whales (Mesoplodon sp.) on two different days. This was a bonus as they are very elusive animals that are difficult to view and almost impossible to identify in the wild. During the coming months we are looking forward to more great encounters with the many species that visit our waters.
