No circuiting to be seen. I'm afraid posts in this segment are getting increasing shorter. If you'd like to read more of my rambling about this series, I'd advise you to reread my earlier ones. Because, I'm quite literally just trying to record whether or not Nemo is circuiting. So to disappoint- if I have.

Concerning Belugas: Circuiting- Affirmative (9:30-9:40 A.M Vancouver Time)

6:36 PM
Nemo is circuiting.
There's not much else to say.
Wake is nowhere to be seen. He's probably around the back.

Enjoy these pretty screenshots.

I'll be back with another bland post in a couple of hours. I am literally just trying to keep track of when Nemo is circuiting and when he isn't. Sorry, if it's boring. Read my other posts.

Concerning Belugas: Circuit Swimming- Affirmative (7:40 AM Vancouver Time)

Nemo is indeed circuiting again. What is interesting, is that he is swimming at a much greater speed that usual. Still dark in the tank, but he is evidently swimming much faster- can't imagine why. Anyway, here we go.

 The tail that you see is Wake not Nemo.
 There's Nemo, circuiting.
 Going around the corner, very difficult to see, sorry.

Checked back up on the two Belugas. Nemo, is still not exhibiting any circuiting behavior. He is the whale in the left hand corner (see some of my earlier posts for an accurate way to tell the two whales apart). No circuiting, I take this as pretty good news. It means that Nemo is not always expressing this compulsive behavior. Wake is still swimming around.

Concerning Belugas:Circuit Swimming- Negative (7:30 AM Vancouver Time)

5:30 PM
It's finally light enough for me to see something in the tank. This is the first time, since I started this particular segment, that Nemo has not been circuit swimming for a considerable amount of time. That isn't to say he's always been circuiting, I can't, after all watch them for more than an hour or so a day. Anyway, here are the image that clearly show Nemo swimming a path other than his usual circuiting path.

 Whale swimming in from the left (looks like a white smudge)
 The whale is breaking the surface to get a breathe, still on the left side.



 This is obviously Nemo (notice the ridges), and I'd never see him from this angle, if he were swimming his circuit. So there we go.

Well, I check up on Nemo again. To begin with he wasn't circuiting, for about 10 seconds. And then he was. So, not sure what to classify this as.

 Not Nemo's usual circuit path...
Still not usual circuiting. Usually swims through the boulders from the other side.



 Only now, does Nemo start circuiting.
