An English holidaymaker thinks he may have taken the first picture of the season of the elusive Loch Ness Monster. Sidney Wilson was in the city with his wife Janet when they decided on a cruise down the loch to take in the sights.And it was as they approached Urquhart Castle that he ended up taking this intriguing photograph.Sidney, who comes from Nottingham, said: "I was just taking pictures of everything as we sailed down the loch."As we approached the castle, two power boats appeared and circled us at speed, leaving a large wash in their wake."Thinking that it would make a good photograph, I fired off two quick shots and on the second, there appeared to be something in the water."After enlarging the image, Sidney could swear he could see a head and fin in the boat's wash."After showing the image to staff at the National Hotel in Dingwall, they advised us to contact the Highland News," he added.

The sighting took place on Tuesday, March 27.The earliest claimed reference to Nessie is taken from the history of St Columba in which it is said he saved the life of a Pict who was being attacked by the monster.

LMAO, he sees a head and a fin and automatically it's the loch ness monster... Is it just me, or would anyone else seeing a head and a fin sticking up think it was some kind of fish?? That would be my first reaction. I can't believe someone wrote an article about this.

I can't even make out what he's talking about......

I just see waves, no monster.

look in the top left, where the waves meet the still water, yea its not the loch ness, looks like a regular fish to me

Optical illusion

Same here...I think I see what they're talking about, but that could be anything.

I cant see much either. I have pointed out what i think are the anomilies.

LOL, here we go again.

Lol. looks like an abandoned ice chest to me. and a bottle. looks like trash

I clicked on the link, and it shows a better pic, but, since when does "Nessie" have a fin on it's back?

i say fish

and if that's a fish, it will feed a LOT of people! Garbage actually sounds more plausable.

*Edited because I said the fish would feel people*

Well you never know.

I agree with Kretos and Airika - looks like some rubbish to me.

Big Fish ...

Are we sure this pic even shows Loch Ness? I thought the Loch was not too wide. On the pic I can't even see the far side of what should be the Loch.

I vote for it being a seal that was photographed somewhere else.

Na its just to vauge to consider.

Atleast the picture isn't of the blurred variety like so many infamous pictures, but I don't see anything that would immediately prompt me to believe it's Nessie.

Wow! Another picture of some vague, far off, blurry something that is obviously Nessie. I can't believe you people can't see it! Okay, look, if you just sit back a little, cross your eyes, tilt your head, hold your tongue just so and squint.....you can plainly see that it is the Loch Ness monster.

I mean really, it's as plain as the nose on....that guy......on the other side of the Loch.....just to the right of Nessie. I think he's holding a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. Oh wait, my bad. That's Bigfoot.

im a riverboat captain on the mississippi river ive been running boats for over 11 years,,,in my opinion all those are,,,,get ready for this one,,,are waves,,,if you look at the article it has a blown up section,,,the small thing that looks like a fin is in fact a waveslightly cresting leaving a dark shadow and to me the big part the so called head looks like a wave meeting a nother wave causing a white wash effect,,,we see it at work all the time..if you look they are in a line and there is a very very small white line right behind the so called head,,,that one is a wave cresting aginst another wave and they are running in a line ..if we would have snaped a nother pic right after that one there would be more white wash...no mystery there...


reasoning behind my theory,,,2 boats circle his boat causing 2 diffrent wave patters wich in fact will cancel out another wave when they crash into each other making the wave or wake unstable....so as a person that spends probably 70% of his time on the water...its nothing not trash not debri but moving water,,

spend enough time on the water and youll see all kinda crazy stuff most of it is nothing but your mind and light reflecting off of a moving uneven surface..

no prey items in that water, "nessie" dosent make sense

LOL
looks like the family ness have been careless about their secrecy again

great to see that they put in an apearance just as the holiday season starts...

Saruman, are you sure you dont work for the tourist board????

So this creature has managed to elude professional hunters, sonar and Happy Meals for years, yet it decides to surface in the wake of not one but two noisy power boats?

Well I’ll be darned.

They have to be kidding. I looks just like boat wake.

I agree.

Ahhhh, no.

The first, that is to say the one on the left, looks to me to be a fish jumping sideways, you can see the shimmer of the lower half of the body and in the better picture from the link it seems that there is a fin on the side. The second one, the one on the right, looks to be a common bottle floating there. I don't see any Nessie. I don't refute the idea that a creature may exist in some form that would be an anomaly down there, but this is not that creature.
