The Loch Ness Monster

Latest sighting of Nessie - for a whole two seconds!

Seventh Loch Ness Monster sighting of the year recorded as 'unidentified creature' is spotted in Urquhart Bay close to the castle​

The latest sighting was reported by a tourist who was up visiting from Cambridge.


The seventh official Loch Ness Monster sighting of the year has been recorded after an 'unidentified creature' was spotted in the bay close to the Urquhart Castle.
The latest sighting was reported by a tourist who was up visiting from Cambridge and was standing close to the castle on the banks.
Using a set of binoculars, the man was scanning the loch's surface on Wednesday June 2 about 1.30pm when he said he spotted a creature for two seconds.

I imagine that a two-second sighting is most questionable...
After all, a two second sighting of a UFO would be a very dubious report at best, much less actually describing what the thing actually looked like!
More like the tourist saw "something" in the water, a seal ~ a duck ~ or a log with green slime on it perhaps?

The problem with lochness is that as soon as anyones sees 'something' break the surface, or leaving a wake, their first though is 'it must be nessie' in any other body of water people wouldnt even give it a second glance.

Totally this and very well put.

And why not? It's great fun to do some Nessie spotting at Loch Ness. Some of the happiest times of my life have been there trying to see the beastie...it's great fun at a beautiful place.


But it's a tad unlikely there is a pleisosaur knocking about in there.


Like, really, really unlikely.

I sometimes dip into Loch ness Live, not so much in the hope of spotting Nessie, but to watch the wildlife that passes in front of the camera, and also the sheep in the foreground - sometimes with appearances of the two old people who look after them. Makes a nice break away from the 'norm.'

I camped there on the shore for a few days years ago, very stony ground, but a very tranquil area.

Me too yeah!

As I've rattled on about many times on here, it's probably my favourite place in the world. Been lucky enough to spend a lot of time there. There aren't many days when I don't contemplate, packing up the car, heading up there and disappearing...

Why not? But, not a good idea to disappear though!

Steve Feltham, who has been watching the Loch every single day of his life for 30, when I spoke to him last year, has pretty much come to the conclusion that most sightings are probably big sturgeons, possible catfish...and branches.

A swimming elephant was suggested for some early sightings of Nessie, when a travelling circus stopped at the shores of the loch and let Jumbo have a dip:

I'm honestly not sure where I found it to be honest...maye Youtube? Can't remember...last night was a lifetime ago ha ha. Youtube is blocked here so have a search yourself mate...sure it won't take you long...and then you too can indulge in a few hours of watching capybara effectively walk underwater...


Yes.

Underwater :oops:
 
Capybaras can swim quite well through, I have seen them and am pretty sure they have webbed feet.
