\n
\nMay has been an amazing month with lots of sightings; common dolphins<\/a>, bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, striped dolphins<\/a>, Risso’s dolphins<\/a>, in the beginning of the month we sighted false killer whales<\/a> and in the end of May we sighted pilot whales<\/a>. The larger friends of the sea: blue whales<\/a>, fin whales<\/a>, sei whales<\/a> and sperm whales<\/a>. We had an encounter with the rare True’s beaked whales<\/a> as well. So in total 11 species of cetaceans. Apart from cetaceans we saw loggerhead turtles<\/a>, ocean sunfish<\/a>, a few sharks<\/a> and tuna<\/a> plus lots of flying fish<\/a>. And the grey seal is still around. Lets go out of the water and towards the sky: Cory’s shearwaters<\/a>, Manx shearwaters<\/a> and Macaronesian shearwaters<\/a>, common terns<\/a> and roseate terns<\/a>, yellow-legged gulls<\/a> and both great skua<\/a> and pomarine skua<\/a>. <\/div>\n
