\nToday the water was flat as a mirror in the first hours of the day and later we just had a light breeze. Perfect spotting conditions to see the smallest irregularity on the water surface. In the morning we started with <\/span>bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, <\/span>Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> and <\/span>Risso’s dolphins<\/a> and in the afternoon big pods of Atlantic spotted dolphins. The ribs were also managing to see <\/span>common dolphins<\/a> morning and afternoon. Today was ideal for bird watchers too, the number of seabird species was doubling the average. The amount of <\/span>great shearwaters<\/a> among the <\/span>Cory’s shearwaters<\/a> was elevated, so we could see several side by side looking for fish. <\/span>Roseate terns <\/a>and <\/span>Bulwer’s petrel<\/a> are also not an everyday sight. Just to be on the water was a joy and every single sight is a plus.<\/span><\/div>\n
