azwhales
Looks like that yesterday the sperm whales
took a day off, but today they were again with us. Then we went to see the sperm whales showing the tails. And to finish we could see our resident species bottlenose dolphin. Also, our big boat saw the tourist from azorean waters, the Atlantic spotted dolphin.

This morning, in São Miguel, we also saw sei whale, a baleen whale species that we can see here around this period late-spring late-summer.

In the afternoon, the sperm whales were more far away but we went to see them, they were showing the tail also. And then on the way back home, we saw the same group of bottlenose dolphin from the morning.

On Pico Island, it was
a day full of sperm whales. One of the groups we saw today goes through every
year in Pico. We also saw two species of dolphin residents: many rissos and
common.
