\nAs it’s the final day of August we at Futurismo have been looking back over our sightings for the month.. see below which species have visited us in the Azores and how often they’ve been seen. Our most prolific visitor, the migratory Atlantic spotted dolphin<\/a>, has been seen on 93% of the days we’ve been at sea this month! It’s a species we see a lot of at this time of year, usually large groups with plenty of calves swimming close alongside the adults. Sperm whales<\/span><\/a> have been sighted 60% of the days this month, and fin whales<\/a> made it onto the list which is unusual for this time of year!\n<\/div>\n
