appeared. These were very active and we had a good time with them.
Then we saw
more sperm whales through their blows. Did you know that the sperm whales
blowhole is on the left side of their head? So we can distinguish the species
through their blow because it is directed to the left. We were in an area
surrounded by sperm whales, and we saw several tails!
And on the afternoon, common dolphins as well, some with Cory’s shearwaters around, and even a school of fish!
Then we head out further from the coast to see again the same family of sperm whales. We managed to see a lot of tails during the day today. It’s a pity that not all of them are useful for photo-ID as we saw them from the side. However, we still have some good ones to continue with the identification!
