\nWe are finishing the month of April very well! Today, although we had some rain and the visibility wasn’t very good, we were able to see 3 out of the 4 resident species here in the Azores. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the morning, we started the trip with a huge group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. These were very active and traveling with the boats. In the area, we estimated to have more than 200 individuals, a huge group! <\/span><\/span>

\n<\/div>\n

Then, we saw our common dolphins<\/a>, also a huge group. At first, the common dolphins were calm but then very active! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nAfter leaving the dolphins area, our lookouts couldn’t see any more species. So on the catamaran Cetus, we went for a spin to see if we could find anything else, and our captain Mario spotted a blow: it was a sperm whale<\/a>! At first we thought it was our famous Mr. Liable! A few minutes after arriving to the area, he fluked and shown his beautiful tail! <\/span><\/span>But then, later on, when we saw the pictures we realized that it was not the same tail than our belove Mr Liable.<\/span>

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


<\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn the afternoon, we got to see the bottlenose dolphins and the common dolphins once again! The bottlenose dolphins were in socialization and the common dolphins were very active to take great leaps! Let’s see what awaits us tomorrow!<\/span><\/span>
