Today in S\u00e3o Miguel Island we enjoyed the
\ncompany of two of our resident dolphin species out on the ocean. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe had common
\ndolphins in the morning, the one that is usually the most sighted species here
\nin the Azores throughout the year. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nHowever during the summer this year we have
\nencountered our resident bottlenose dolphins more than the common dolphins, and
\ntoday was no exception. We had two different groups of bottlenose dolphins in
\nthe morning, and we re-encountered one of them in the afternoon. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe “egypcian” bottlenose dolphin was saw today once again. Its dorsal fin is quite easy to distinguish from the rest!<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe also had
\nour swimming boats out there with these dolphins, so we could all enjoy their
\ncompany both above and under water.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn Pico Island we travelled many miles but it was worth it! We started
\nour trip with a very curious group of bottlenose dolphins. Then we had a beaked whale and we went after to see a group of dolphins, many common and also some
\nvery active striped dolphins. To finish the day we encountered a female sperm
\nwhale and a calf breast-feeding.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
