\nWhat a perfect <\/span>Sunday morning, sunny, dolphins, birds and lots of sperm whales! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nAs soon as we started the trip, just two minutes from the marina we found a big group of common dolphins<\/a> feeding along with many <\/span>seagulls<\/span>, quite a show and the day was just starting! <\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe keep on moving to the South and we arrived <\/span>to the area where our lookouts have <\/span>spotted sperm whales, we started to see blows in the distance and what a surprise before we realized we were surrounded by lots of sperm whales<\/a>, at least 20 animals! We got to see them very well, they were so calm, relaxing in the surface, rolling, <\/span>spyhopping on us, and it was a great opportunity to use our hydrophone and play the sounds on the vessel <\/span>speakers, so everyone on board could hear the clicks they were making, used for echolocation. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd when we <\/span>thought we have seen it all, and animal amazed us jumping three times and we were able to see its all body out of the water! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nWhat an incredible day, this is what you get in the Azorean paradise!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What a perfect Sunday morning, sunny, dolphins, birds and lots of sperm whales!  As soon as we started…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[8,23,4,5,11,196],"yoast_head":"\nSpyhopping sperm whales in S\u00e3o Miguel Island -
