More pilot whales in Pico Island and São Miguel!

Today morning we started the day a bit cloudy and we could see our resident species, the  common dolphin. Then we tried to find something else but we didn’t have luck.

After that, in the afternoon we went far away, close to Povoação and we spotted again common dolphins. Suddenly in the same area pilot whales appeared making us smile. They where in a really good mood with us.

In Pico Island, we had a group of Atlantic spotted dolphins a bit active like the winds blowing and the ocean waves!

And we also had with bottlenose dolphins. They love jumping in big waves! 

We also encountered a group of pilot whales. We saw about 30 individuals. In the Azores pilot whales are frequently sighted from April to October.
