\nWe are
\nfinishing the month of May in the best way! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThis morning we were able to
\nobserve two of our four resident species. We started the day with our sperm whales<\/a>, the same group we have seen in recent days, a mother with the white
\nhead and her baby. <\/span><\/span>

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nSoon after diving, a very nice group of common dolphins<\/a>
\nappeared. These were very active and we had a good time with them. <\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>
\nThen we saw
\nmore sperm whales through their blows. <\/span><\/span>Did you know that the sperm whales
\nblowhole is on the left side of their head? So we can distinguish the species
\nthrough their blow because it is directed to the left. We were in an area
\nsurrounded by sperm whales, and we saw several tails!<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nAnd on the afternoon, common dolphins as well, some with Cory’s shearwaters<\/a> around, and even a school of fish! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen we head out further from the coast to see again the same family of sperm whales. We managed to see a lot of tails during the day today. It’s a pity that not all of them are useful for photo-ID as we saw them from the side. However, we still have some good ones to continue with the identification!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
