When I was at school there were 2 twin sisters that had hands not unlike that,
I heard they had surgery in later life to correct it.
 
They looked for traces of sturgeon DNA in the fairly recent investigation & didn't find any.

Whether that means there are or ever have been absolutely no sturgeon present in the loch I don't know - I couldn't find any reports of even one being caught..

Another sighting of an "unidentified movement".

New Nessie 'sighting' on Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register is eighth one so far this year​

Another possible sighting of Nessie has been reported by visitors to the area after they saw an unidentified movement in Loch Ness.
The sighting, which happened on July 19, has been registered on the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register and brings the total so far this year to eight.
It was reported by a man and his daughter visiting from Chester.​

Think that's one very dodgy 'Nessie' report, as Nessie is described as a movement?
So, I'm just guessing here, that if something 'moves' in, or on Loch Ness then it's a solid candidate for News - perhaps a wake on the surface; a duck taking off, wind, a fish splashing, a rogue wave, or somebody loch-side camping and getting caught short perhaps?

Loch Ness Monster 'spotted on sonar' as images capture underwater creature​

The latest spotting marks the third sighting of the Loch Ness Monster this summer.



A Nessie hunter has claimed to have captured images of the Loch Ness Monster swimming in the water using hi-tech equipment.
Alleged sightings of the legendary beast have soared in the past few months and one tourist believes he has proof of Nessie in the loch.
The latest spotting marks the third sighting of the Loch Ness Monster this summer.

Brandon Scanlon, who has been named by the official Loch Ness Monster sightings register, claims to have recorded a sound image of a creature rumoured to be between 3-4 metres (around nine to 13 feet) long below the waves.
Edinburgh Live reports Mr Scanlon was travelling on the 'Nessie Hunter' vessel - used to ferry passengers on journeys around the Loch.

Turns out it wasn't Nessie...

Chris Gyford on Facebook's Fortean Appreciation has just posted this purported drone footage of Nessie basking near the banks of the loch ..

Hmmm...
How shallow is the water there?
Towards the end of the video, it looks like Nessie's "head" comes to within a few metres of the sandy beach with the boats on it.
Unless the land drops off precipitously a short distance from the beach, I cannot see how the body of the beastie could be underwater.

Someone's questioned weather it might be a sturgeon which is a good point as we have no scale.

edit: I stand corrected, I hadn't noticed the boats so we do have scale.

It could also just be rocks.

The boats on the beach look like kayaks or touring canoes, which average around 4.5 metres in length.
As the "creature" looks to be maybe half as long again, I would estimate it as 6.5 metres or 21 feet.

I've had a quick look at the YouTube video of the expedition, but the presenter gives no hint as to the exact location of the sighting, and there are no obvious clues as to its locus on a skim viewing.

It's "on the east shore of the loch, north of Fort Augustus", is the best I can do.
