It didn't take him long to notice that tourists kept throwing Haribo sweets in to the water and laughing.The reason, it turns out, is that there is an advert for Haribo in Germany which shows a tour guide at Loch Ness pouring a pile of Haribo sweets in to a bowl and offering it to his troupe.

When the guide picks up one of the sweets and tosses it in to the air, Nessie emerges from the water and grabs it - much to the amusement of the tourists.

"Another mystery solved here at Loch Ness," said Feltham.
