Ciao Valeria! I delfini sono qui tutto l'anno, a eccezione della stenella maculata atlantica, che arriva a Pico a fine giugno. Se il tuo interesse è orientato principalmente verso i delfini, potresti venire tra luglio e settembre e incontrare proprio TUTTE le specie che abbiamo qui. In primavera, comunque, abbiamo sempre il delfino comune, il tursiope, il grampo e la stenella striata. Come vedi, i delfini qui non mancano mai :-)
Grazie del tuo messaggio e speriamo di incontrarti presto!

For the good of the planet, whales are worth more alive than dead. Not sure the same holds true for the whalers.

Perhaps the most mysterious cetaceans we see here are the beaked whales. Most frequently these involve just brief sightings, usually of either Northern bottlenose whales Hyperoodon ampullatus or Sowerby's beaked whales Mesoplodon bidens as they surface a few times and pass by. ...
