\nThis month we have had great sightings of seven different species of cetaceans, including our four resident species: sperm whale<\/a>, common dolphin<\/a>, bottlenose dolphin<\/a> and Risso’s dolphin<\/a>. We had one day of beaked whales<\/a>, a sighting of striped dolphins<\/a> and Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> almost everyday reminding us that summer is yet not over. Other than cetaceans<\/a> (whales and dolphins) we have had encounters with a few sharks as well, both hammerhead shark<\/a> and a whale shark<\/a>, several species of tuna hunting togteher with the dolphins, loggerhead turtles<\/a>, devil rays<\/a> and seabirds like Cory’s shearwaters<\/a>, great shearwaters<\/a>, Manx shearwaters<\/a>, yellow-legged gulls<\/a> and great black-backed gulls<\/a> and of course lots of flying fish<\/a>.<\/span>
