Pilot whales
While working in the shop this morning I was really "jealous" about the nice sighting on board Ribeira Brava of 4 species in just 3 hours. But also my tour in the afternoon brought us very nice sightings. So we saw 6 different species of cetaceans today, not counting in the FLYING FISH neither the CORY'S SHEARWATERS we saw, adding this two "non cetaceans" we would have had 8 different species of animals for today! On board Stenella we had a non stop sighting trip, and when we came on land it took a while for everyone to "digest" their sightings, after that I was able to give away a little bit from my knowledge about the animals. After a trip free Saturday our Sunday was filled with travelling PILTO WHALES, feeding SPERM WHALES and happy ATLANTIC SPOTTED DOLPHINS.
Todays Sightings:
Ribeira Brava 10.00: BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN, BLAINVILLE BEAKED WHALE, SPOTTED DOLPHINS, RISSO'S DOLPHINS
Ribeira Brava 14.30: PILOT WHALES, SPERM WHALES, SPOTTED DOLPHINS
Stenella 15.30: PILOT WHALES, SPERM WHALES, SPOTTED DOLPHINS
