The dolphins were herding together a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/08\/dolphin-food-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">garfish<\/a> at the surface, which attracted a lot of seabirds that came in to grab a part of the dolphins&#8217; hard work. We got to see the common dolphins, <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/corys-shearwater-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cory&#8217;s shearwaters<\/a> and gulls fighting over their breakfast. After witnessing this feeding frenzy we went further out to search, and to our luck we came across a large group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. The behaviour of these dolphins was very different; they were very keen to play in the waves and were racing alongside our boat as we travelled. We really got to see the size and power of these big dolphins as they came high out of the water, making an excellent end to our morning tour.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from the morning:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9863.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9863.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9878.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9878.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9888.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9888.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Bottlenose dolphins<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC_0628-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC_0628-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Watching the bottlenose dolphins<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC_0524-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC_0524-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9836.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9836.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9839.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9839.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Gulls fighting over a garfish<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9853.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9853.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Garfish jumping<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First thing this morning we set out to see a group of common dolphins close to shore and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17285,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3,201,10,4,244,79],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
