When we started our trip we had some waves and warm sunshine. It didn&#8217;t take long before we found a huge group of bottlenose dolphins &#8230; there must have been more than 80 animals! Females playing with their youngs and with the waves. We managed to see some newborn dolphins :0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know how we know that babies were recently born? It&#8217;s not just about the size\u2026 in the first days of life these babies have 3 or 4 circular marks around their bodies. These marks result from the dolphins being snuggled in their mother&#8217;s womb and, at the time of delivery, babies leave their mother through 3 or 4 contractions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-2.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-2-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-2-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After seeing these dolphins we continued our journey. We went straight south to deeper waters to try our luck with larger animals. Suddenly there was a lot of fog and rain and our lookouts were unable to see the sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-2.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-2-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/3-2-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We then decided to use the hydrophone to increase our chances of finding some more species. We heard a few dolphins a little further south, but unfortunately, we could only see two fins of what appeared to be Atlantic spotted dolphins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nature and weather are like that, we can&#8217;t control them. But we always advise on seeing animals in the wild, where they are free and with their families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As you know, the weather in the Azores is quite unstable.
