Bad visibility makes it very difficult for our <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/vigias-onshore-lookouts.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vigias<\/a> to spot whales and dolphins, because they are spotting them from land with powerful binoculars. Nevertheless, they were able to find some scattered groups of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> for all three of our boats out on the water to see. The groups were hunting for fish, as we saw them near some fishing boats and there were also many seabirds around the dolphins. Right at the end of the morning one of our zodiac boats also came across a large group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/striped-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">striped dolphins<\/a>. Contrary to their typical evasive behaviour, this time they were approaching very close to the boat and swimming alongside it.<\/div>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from today:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Common-dolphin-1024x577-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Common-dolphin-1024x577-1.jpg\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin photographed underwater from our catamaran<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4503-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4503-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4505-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4505-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphins<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4509-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4509-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4510-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_4510-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_2561-Copia-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_2561-Copia-1.jpg\" height=\"640\" width=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Striped dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_2570-Copia-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_2570-Copia-1.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Striped dolphins<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_2574-Copia-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_2574-Copia-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Striped dolphins<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we had a difficult morning for encountering cetaceans, due to bad visibility over the entire island.
