Summer is a great time to be in the Azores. Several different cetacean species arrive to the area during the warmer months and at this time we also see a lot of newborn calves. Three of my favourite species to watch and photograph at this time of the year are Atlantic spotted dolphins, striped dolphins and pilot whales.
