\nToday was a day of common dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, two of our resident species here in the Azores. In the morning the two species were together in a mixed group, just outside of Ponta Delgada marina where we depart from. We had some really nice encounters with both species throughout the day, and in the afternoon we also spotted a small loggerhead turtle<\/a>. On both our morning and afternoon tours we also had time to visit Vila Franca Islet and enjoy views of the south coast of S\u00e3o Miguel on our return to base. Seabirds sighted today include several species of gulls (yellow-legged<\/a>, great black-backed<\/a> and kittiwakes<\/a>) as well as skuas<\/a>, ruddy turnstones<\/a> and an Azorean buzzard<\/a> on the islet.<\/div>\n
