\nToday morning we started the day a bit <\/span>cloudy and we could see our resident species, the  common dolphin. Then we tried <\/span>to find something else but we didn’t have luck.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span>After that, in the afternoon we went far away, close to Povoa\u00e7<\/span>\u00e3<\/span>o and we <\/span>spotted again common dolphins. Suddenly in the same area<\/span><\/span><\/span> pilot whales <\/span><\/span><\/span>appeared<\/span> making us smile. They where in a really good mood with us.<\/span>

<\/span>In Pico Island, we had a group of Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> a bit active like the winds blowing and the ocean waves! <\/span>

\nWe also encountered a group of pilot whales<\/a>. We saw about 30 individuals. In the Azores pilot whales are frequently sighted from April to October.<\/span>
