I'm assuming this is a bird. Or is it Loch Ness's cousin? This is a great capture. #536053

With a bit of haze and fog and in the right loch,it certainly could be Ness`s cousin! Thanks Richard,I appreciate your comments. #3426405

Another very sleek river wildlife shot! The shag is very low in the water. Almost drowning! #3439011

I think thats why nature gave these shags long necks Kate.I think they would drown with short necks,when they come up for air while catching fish.Mind you when I see them swimming totally underwater chasing a school of fish,they move along at speed...much faster than I ever did underwater!Thanks Kate. #3447675

Funny, first thing I thought of was the Loch Ness monster. This photo very well emulates that depiction. Great capture Joe! #5134127
