In the morning we enjoyed the company of a nice group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> close to Ponta Delgada. They were playful and curious as they came to check out our boat and surf in the waves. As well as these dolphins we registered our first sighting of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/corys-shearwater-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cory&#8217;s shearwaters<\/a> today. The Cory&#8217;s shearwater is an oceanic bird that visits the Azores archipelago in large numbers throughout the spring to Autumn to nest on the islands. This year they arrived a bit earlier than usual so it was a nice surprise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<b style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; font-size: 14px;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\"><i>Delphinus delphis&nbsp;|&nbsp;<\/i>Common dolphin<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><b style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\"><i>Delphinus delphis&nbsp;|&nbsp;<\/i>Common dolphin<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are all happy to be back out on the water again today, enjoying the sunshine and great&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[10,20,4,79],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
