\nToday we had a playful day on a calm sea with both common dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, morning and afternoon. The bottlenose dolphins were the same friendly group that we have seen for more then a year now and almost everyday; Bubblemakers family. They were active at the surface (and under surface too) making babies. The common dolphins had already done this and we got to enjoy the result: lots of small newborn babies. So cute and playful. We also were lucky to see common tern<\/a>, Cory’s shearwater<\/a>, yellow-legged gull<\/a>, three Manx shearwaters<\/a>, little egret<\/a>, buzzards<\/a>, loggerhead turtles<\/a>, salps<\/a> and flying fish<\/a>.<\/div>\n
