\nThis morning we went out to find a lovely surprise – a very small baby <\/span>Bryde’s whale<\/a> alongside its mother. This year we have been lucky to see a few of these rare whales that don’t show up in the Azores every year, but it was our first baby Bryde’s whale of the year. The mother and calf were very calm, spending long periods at the surface, and the calf was surfacing high so we could see its head very well out of the water. Our morning tour was completed by some lovely <\/span>bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and a huge and active group of <\/span>Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> from the catamaran Cetus and instead of Atlantic spotted dolphins we had a curious group of <\/span><\/span>common dolphins<\/span><\/a> on the catamaran Quatro Ventos. In the afternoon we found the same mother and calf of Bryde’s whales and a big pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins at times behaving like striped dolphins porpoising, which means that they were swimming very fast, leaping flat out of the water. The water looked like boiling and there was always a part of the group out of the water.<\/span><\/div>\n
