\nJuly has been a perfect summer month with a touch of springtime feeling. We have sighted 13 species of cetaceans, 6 species of dolphins and 6 species of whales, including a Northern bottlenose whale<\/a> and our first sighting of Bryde’s whales<\/a> since 2008. We have been very lucky to see the baleen whales this month as they normally are passing by the Azores during spring time (the baleen whale season<\/a>) when they are migrating past. We have had many great encounters with fin whales<\/a> and sei whales<\/a>, and one day with a minke whale<\/a>. Our lookouts also saw orcas<\/a> passing by the island but the boats never saw them.<\/p>\n
