\nWe are well into the summer months and summer weather, but we are still enjoying some spring time sightings of baleen whales. Today we encountered a fin whale<\/a> in the afternoon, one of the baleen whale species that migrates past the Azores during the spring months. As well as this slightly unexpected sighing we also encountered some of our summer time Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> in the afternoon (swimming together with the fin whale), common dolphins<\/a> during the day, and last but not least some sperm whales<\/a> in the morning. The sperm whale is our resident whale species and this morning we had to go to the eastern end of the island to see them. After a bit of waiting we encountered two individuals that showed their tails to us. What a fantastic day!<\/div>\n
