Entering the spring season, one of my favorite periods for whale watching, we saw in the morning Bottlenose dolphins and in the afternoon Striped dolphins and two Fin whales. During spring time there´s a lot of changes happening: the Ocean temperature starts rising and the days are getting longer, which means that there will be more abundance of microscopic life, enhancing the food chain. It also means that there is more chances of seeing several species of cetaceans per trip. So lets hope that Nature indulges us for the next trips.
