Today we went out in the morning. After 10 Minutes we found a group of Bottlenose Dolphins in front of the Port Calhau. About 50 individuals were around.
But Antero, our Vigia, called us to move on.
After 20 minutes we saw the first blow on the horizon but when we looked we saw more and more blows everywhere.
The seas are red from the krill. Horse Makarels come to feed on this food as well as the Shearwaterbirds.
Whales are feeding on both, Krill and the Makarels.
First we spotted some Seiwhales but again Antero told us to move on ....
.......after a short while we understood wyh Antero told us to leave the Seiwhales
.......about 3 blows of bluewhales .....
more than 25m long and almost not moving.
Beside some Finwhales joining them.....what a peacefull situation.
We stayed more than 2 hours with the giants of the sea. And even a Blue Whale Baby appeared to join the party.......
Here are some of my pictures.....
On our way back to Madalena we stopped with a group of Rissos dolphins,
5 species in this trip
....ah ...
and I almost forgot the sea turtle feeding on a portuguese man of war......
And in this moment when I upload this text the Vigia is calling in my office.....Sperm Whales sighted
and we are leaving at 16:00 for another trip
.....what a Day......
Of you want to jin the next Season of the Giants come and visit us in Pico next year between March and the end of may.....
