\nToday, we saw two of our resident species of dolphins. Bottlenose dolphins<\/a> opened our morning letting us observe a lot of social moments with high jumps and chasing happening all around us. <\/span><\/div>\n

\nBy now, we are aware that bottlenose dolphins are quite a social species. They aggregate in average sized pods from 10 to 50 dolphins but occasionally and in the last days we have been seeing a giant mixed group, of around 150 dolphins, almost always showing some social behaviour.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nBottlenose dolphins typically aggregate in mixed pods, with juveniles, adult females and adult males all together. Today, we were able to spot lots of juveniles in this pod.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nAlso in the morning trip, our spotter led us to see a pod common dolphins<\/a> and in this pod we sighted a really small and beautiful calf right next to an adult individual!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe westerly winds also brought us Portuguese men-o-war<\/a> and after them, a loggerhead turtle<\/a>! In the sky, we sighted our dear friends Cory\u2019s shearwaters<\/a> and also one Macaronesian shearwater. Also, common terns are definitely around by now!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
