The last #fieldwork blog update of 2022! Foggy days at sea, the #whaleheritagesite meeting of the @RWDW_WCA , and days at sea with @SpermWhaleScale sum up our October. @AbbarFadia will now analyze the results, so stay tuned for future developments.

During my #phd #fieldwork at @AzoresDelphis we observed that #commondolphins and #stripeddolphins had an unexpected #behavioralresponse by making an interesting #groupsplit . Read the #blog here. #research funding by #stichtinglucieburgers https://t.co/03kM0PB684

[Laura Jou @RubiaPeregrina_]

Today we had a fieldwork day!! We were trying to spot common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) for the @AzoresDelphis project🐬

But, although the sea was perfect, it was full of spotted dolphins and some sperm whales.

Even so, it was a super great day and we learned a lot!🐳🌊

[Sperm Whale Scale @SpermWhaleScale]

Yesterday we were treated to a pair of very relaxed fin whales cruising along slowly southwards, it was nice to record them from above for an aerial perspective!

Today's the day you've all been waiting for! That's right, it's #WorldKrillDay!

Later today we'll share our instructions so that you can make your own paper krill. In the meantime, have a look at the hashtag for more krill facts than you could wave a penguin at 🐧

Proud of Milla Brandão who presented her thesis at the @marinemammalogy #SMM2022 , the #photoid on #commondolphins will continue with @AzoresDelphis

[Azores delphis project @AzoresDelphis]

Proud of Milla Brandão for presenting her #thesis findings that some groups of #commondolphins in São Miguel #Azores are #residents and the longest #resighting was of 11 years! Presented @marinemammalogy #SMM2022

🐋Blue whales🐋 vs. 🐬common dolphins🐬

The #dolphins are 2-2.5m in length, #Bluewhales are approx. 10x the size of that! Find the #commondolphins in the #drone footage taken in our 2021 #fieldwork season in May with permits.
