We are experiencing a quiet end to the month of November, with very few tours due the weather. However, the tours that we did have throughout the month were very good ones, and in total we encountered 9 different whale and dolphin species. Each tour was really different, with no particular species being sighted a lot more often than others. We had a few days with our resident sperm whales, a few with migratory sei whales and fin whales, a day with pilot whales and even an encounter with a humpback whale. Dolphins were also around in large numbers, including the Atlantic spotted dolphins who were probably enjoying the extended summer weather that we were lucky to have this year.
- Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) - 42%
- Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) - 42%
- Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) - 21%
- Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus) - 21%
- Pilot whale (Globicephala sp.) - 5%
- Sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) - 37%
- Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) - 5%
- Sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis) - 26%
- Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) - 16%
