The beggining of the whale watching season of 2010 was amazing. In April and May we have seen the biguest animals of the planet on a dayli basis. Bule whales, fin whales and sei whales are common off the islands of Faial and Pico in the spring, where they feed on krill, and then migrate north to their summer feeding grouds.
