A Nessie hunter who thought he had recorded the first official sighting of the year has hit back after it was removed and replaced on the register.
Irishman Eoin O Faodhagain, a veteran spotter who regularly records sightings via the Loch Ness webcam, thought he had ended over three months of no official sightings on the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register when he reported his sighting at the end of March.
However, after it was later claimed that the two objects moving parallel to each other on the loch's surface he had spotted were actually paddleboarders, the sighting was stricken from the Register.
