\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nToday we had an adventurous ride in the company of common dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. The common dolphins<\/a> were very active and curious, approaching our zodiac and swimming really close, specially the young calves. In this group we also had an all dark common dolphin<\/a> that was missing the yellow colour. We still don’t know how many dark common dolphins<\/a> we have seen this year, but we will check during this winter (by comparing the dorsal fins of the individuals we photographed). During the tour we had rainbows over land, a beautiful sight we get to see fairly often in the Azores. After the common dolphins<\/a> we spotted a pod of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, probably they were trying to get some “breakfast” and they didn’t really pay much attention to us. Further away from us were some fishing boats catching some squid<\/a>. After the sightings of dolphins we went to Vila Franca Islet to enjoy the marine life of this natural reserve (one the way we saw more common dolphins).<\/div>\n
