As well as this weird and wonderful encounter today we also had plenty of nice encounters with two of our resident dolphin species: <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>. The bottlenose dolphins sure did put on a great display as they were socialing with each other and often jumping out of the water.
