In the morning we started with a small group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, that included two individuals we know very well and refer to as &#8220;Bubblemaker&#8221; and Lady. A bit further we had a mixed group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/atlantic-spotted-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>, who seemed to be hunting together. Even further to the west our catamaran came across an active group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/striped-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">striped dolphins<\/a>. In the afternoon we re-encountered all but the later species. We got to see a lot of different behaviours today and it was also a great day to see baby dolphins, including quite a few newborns. This is one of our favourite times of the year!<\/div>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from today:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC_0724-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;
