Beaked Whales today!

Hellos everyone! Today we had an amazing tour.

The day was really nice, warm and sunny, the sea was perfect and we had amazing animals.

The first species was a group of Common Dolphins. At the beginning they were calm but then they started to forage. We could see a lot of Yellow Legged Seagull and Common terns together with the dolphins eating the fish.

Then we went to another location to see a Beaked whale. This time we could see it a bit more, it went to the surface 3 times! It doesn’t look much but because this kind of whales don’t appear everyday and normally we only see them one time breathing, 3 times it’s good 🙂

During the tour we could see a lot of Loggerhead turtles and Portuguese man of war. One of the turtles was really small, maybe 10/15 cm, really nice to see.

I hope you had enjoyed, see you at Terra Azul!
