\n<\/a>Today we had rainbows and Rainbow the whale. It was a rainy morning here in S\u00e3o Miguel but due to the hard work of our lookouts we encountered our well-known sperm whale<\/a> group of Orca, Bear Paw, Marble, Iris and a young one. The young one was identified in June and now by the dorsal fin we could re-identify it, and it got its name today: Rainbow, as we saw it under a wonderful rainbow. There are more whales in this group but we spent the morning with five of them as there were more animals to see. We also encountered a large group of common dolphins<\/a> chasing pipefish. They were around the sperm whales and we saw some nice jumps from the dolphins and some bowriding. Our swimming boat enjoyed the company of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. When it comes to birds we got to see our two most sighted species: Cory’s shearwater<\/a> and yellow-legged gulls<\/a>, but also a Manx shearwater<\/a> was flying around.<\/div>\n
