Spring has arrived and, with it, our first sightings of blue whales – the largest animal to have ever lived. Despite the frequent rain and bad weather, we were still able to head out to sea and sight 7 different whale and dolphin species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this month we had the chance to sight all of our resident species: bottlenose dolphins, risso’s dolphins, sperm whales, and common dolphins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most commonly sighted species was the common dolphin, followed by the blue whale and bottlenose dolphin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 4th of March, in spite of the bad weather, we were surprised by a humpback whale jumping very close to the Ponta Delgada harbour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the last day of the month, we had another surprise! After 2 years of no minke whale sightings, we were presented with this beautiful cetacean amidst a pod of common dolphins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In all of our trips we have unique and memorable experiences. The behaviours of these animals are, at times, different, and we continuously learn more about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite next month being “Abril \u00e1guas mil” (April thousand waters, meaning a month with a lot of rain), we hope to have the opportunity to head out to sea more often<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spring has arrived and, with it, our first sightings of blue whales – the largest animal to have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[393,387],"tags":[1081,1068,1046,32,1080,12,15],"yoast_head":"\nSightings statistics March 2022 -
