\nToday we just like the middle of summer! All day we had sunshine and a beautiful flat sea that was clear blue and perfect for swimming with dolphins. That is just what we did today – swimming with dolphins and watching the from our different boats that went out in the morning and afternoon.  We watched bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, common dolphins<\/a> and also in the morning a small group of Risso’s dolphins<\/a> (our 3 resident dolphin species!). During our cetacean (dolphin and whale watching) watching tours we also keep a keen out for birds as we often have bird enthusiasts like ourselves aboard. Today in the morning we saw our regular bird species – the Cory’s shearwater<\/a>, great shearwater<\/a>, yellow-legged gull<\/a> and common tern<\/a> and we also spotted a couple of rare Manx shearwaters<\/a> in the afternoon. On top of these sightings we also spotted several loggerhead turtles<\/a> in the morning and in the afternoon from our zodiac another turtle and a flying fish<\/a> were seen.<\/div>\n
