\nDuring October we started to feel autumn and the presence of the residents (common dolphin<\/a>, bottlenose dolphin<\/a>, Risso’s dolphin<\/a> and sperm whale<\/a>), but the fin whales<\/a> have still been around giving us a hopeful feeling of what to come in spring. A sei whale<\/a> has also been sighted. Both striped dolphins<\/a> and Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> have been present to remind us that the summer is not over and the water is still warm and nice. And some false killer whales<\/a> has paid us a visit, which is always more then welcome as it is pure joy to see them, so 9 species of cetacean seen from our boats. Our lookout have also sighted beaked whales<\/a>, but they have not been seen from the boats this month. <\/div>\n

\nThe sea has been full of loggerhead turtles<\/a> and flying fish<\/a>, a wonderful edition to our tours. The sky has been busy too with Cory’s shearwaters<\/a>, great shearwaters<\/a>, Manx shearwaters<\/a>, common terns<\/a>, yellowlegged gulls<\/a>, pomarine skua<\/a> and little egrets<\/a>. So here in Azores, another fantastic month has come to its end and we are looking forwards to a great November.<\/div>\n
