\nDoing
\nanimal observation in the nature is always unpredictable. Today was no
\nexception. Our morning was with sperm whales<\/a> that were quite far and still we
\nsaw an excellent group of Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. In the afternoon we
\nchanged our strategy. The sperm whales just continued to move towards northeast and
\nour zodiac was in the front to see if they could find the sperm whales, but these
\ndived and did not let themselves be seen. The catamarans started their afternoon
\nwith Risso\u2019s dolphins<\/a>. We have unfortunately seen some of these animals with
\nplastic bags on their dorsal fins. Further on we found a group of pilot whales<\/a>
\nresting at the surface with their calves. On the way back we still found bottlenosedolphins<\/a> and common dolphins<\/a>. When our zodiac started its back to Ponta Delgada
\nfound the sperm whales. Everything has to do with luck and also with the mood of
\nour friends.<\/span><\/div>\n
