Many of you have maybe seen in documentary films how a duck protects her chicks against the approaching fox: she pretends having one wing broken and this way manages to detract the fox from her chicks.

Our orca-sightings from 30th of June until 8th of August
 2011-08-29T13:35:00+02:00 http://www.firmm.org/en/news/article/items/the-orcas-diary.html firmm Team First sighting of Orcas of the season!
For several days we had heard that there were orcas in the region and that they were stealing the tuna of the local Spanish and Moroccan fishermen. Unfortunately, the weather was not great either. During the daytime the Levante was too strong. It would have been possible to move out with the boat, but returning would have been rather difficult as we would have lost too much time doing a detour. Therefore, we had to wait till the 30th of July for convenient weather conditions and finally were able to announce the first orca-trip we had been waiting for for so long.

Mondrino/Pigmento came to show off her calfs. 2007 she was already accompanied by a little Sperm whale which seemed to be 2-3 years old. As we had already assumed, another calf was born in the winter of 2010, which we spotted for the first time today.

They came from Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and even from Tarifa this year: “Bienvenidos, Diego y Eduardo!” For the first time Katharina’s hombres had the chance to take part in the annual convention of the growing firmm-family in person.

On the 7th of August, as always, our captain Diego and the marinero Fernando picked up the boat in the fisher harbour to bring it to the pier. Suddenly and completely unexpected a large and a small whale appeared. The blow was different from what they usually knew; they were the lost “humpback whales”! Both had read about them in the paper but did not expect to meet these two poor animals in reality.
