Dolphins, dolphins, dolphins and humpback whales plus one blue whale too

Whale Lovers,


Here are the species we watched closely today:

7 Humpback Whales (more in the binocular range)

1 Blue Whale

3,000 Common Dolphins

3 shy Minke Whales
 
20 Ocean sunfish (Mola mola)
 

It was glassy calm all day today with light overcast skies.  We encountered at least 8 different pods of common dolphins, some with large numbers, some small.  Out on the feeding grounds, despite marginal visibility, we closely watched several groups of humpback whales.  Groups of 2 and 3 were common, as was a singleton whale.  One blue whale came through heading west but was fun for all to see. I'll post up the photos by tomorrow afternoon.
