South Notts Group Talk: Whales and Dolphins of the Azores
Join Sara Frost as she recounts her fascinating experiences of whale watching in the Azores and more!
About the event
Twenty-three species of cetacean have been recorded in the Azores - without a doubt the best whale watching in Europe – and it is possible to see seven+ species in a single visit, including the rare and elusive ‘beaked whales’ which live at depths of 2000m! This talk takes listeners through the biology of the cetacean species which inhabit the waters around these islands – from the deep-diving sperm whales which raise their calves here in the safety of these waters, to the attractive striped dolphins, which arrive in the Azores for the summer months.
Sara also touches on other areas of interest to the natural historian, including huge lava caves, stunning UNESCO vineyards and Europe’s largest colony of cory’s shearwaters.
This talk is organised by the South Notts Local Group of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
