"It is a juvenile Nessie, playing with its prey – the fish – before it devours it. If what I noted is correct, then it is the first time on live camera that we see Nessie hunting its fish prey."
Eoin O'Faodhagain said he was 'stunned' to see the 'distinct' shape surfacing just yards from a Loch Ness hotel while watching the water via webcam. He said: "As I was watching, I noticed a large disturbance in the tranquil waters of Loch Ness, less than 100 feet from the Clansman Hotel pier. A creature broke the surface and rose up a few feet out of the water, then quickly submerged into the dark depths of Loch Ness. Luckily I was already recording. It all happened so fast, but I got it recorded."
In Eoin's footage, the creature briefly surfaces, and for a moment resembles the Nessie of popular imagination, with a long neck and a hump behind. Mr O'Faodhagain has no doubt that that's exactly what it was.
"I immediately thought it was Nessie because it was too large to be anything else. Certainly, it has no resemblance to an otter or a seal, and I never saw a fish with a neck and a bumpy back. I was stunned, overjoyed that at last, I might have a clear image of the Loch Ness Monster. Looking at the screenshot afterward, it fits the uncanny classic description of Nessie, given by many eyewitnesses over the years.'
Eoin, 60, believes the Nessie in question is a 'juvenile'. He thinks it was most likely feeding, noting movement nearby that could be from a fish.
"It is a juvenile Nessie, playing with its prey – the fish – before it devours it. If what I noted is correct, then it is the first time on live camera that we see Nessie hunting its fish prey."
The video was captured on May 7 near the northern end of the loch, using a webcam at the Clansman Hotel maintained by Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN).
NOTE: Do you believe that this was a juvenile Loch Ness Monster? Lon
