The Loch Ness Monster has potentially been sighted for the first time from China.
A webcam viewer in Jiaozhou City reported seeing two black dots very close to the shore on the Nessie on the Net Webcam.
Weiming Jiang recorded this sighting at just after 10.30am on September 6 and sent it in to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.
They ratified it and posted it on their website, making it the 14th Nessie sighting of the year.
The sighting added: "She said that at first there was only one black dot, and then two black dots appeared, very close to the shore. The dots moved on the water for six minutes."
Gary Campbell, recorder of the register, told the Record that this sighting is significant because it matches two other similar potential Nessie viewings.
He said: "This isn't the first report this lady has sent in, she sent in a couple of other things that we have been able to explain.
"On both occasions it was boats that she reported, but this particular image she sent in is interesting because it ties in with the other two that have been reported before it, one from Eoin O'Fagan who is a constant webcam watcher.
"He sent the same thing where it showed two dots which are very blurry, there is also a chap from Dallas who saw two dots as well.
"What makes this interesting is that the lady from China has spotted is a much clearer image of the same things, so we have put it up to see if anyone has any inclination of what this.
"Some people are saying it could be ducks up from Urquhart Bay but they look a bit too big for that, while others are saying it could be kayakers but we just don't know.
“It is the first accepted sighting we have had from China but just shows you can see Nessie from anywhere in the world.”
This one from China takes the number of webcam sightings to nine so far this year, while there have been five other sightings.
Overall, that means there have been more "official" sightings of the monster this year than in 2020, where there were 13.
Overall there have been 1,143 recorded throughout history.
We previously told how eight-year-old holiday-maker Benjamin Scanlon spotted what he believed to be the monster.
He was on a trip on the 'Nessie Hunter' of Loch Ness Cruises when he made his sighting on August 26.
The Londoner spotted something on the sonar on the boat and caught the image.
The register reported: "Captain Mike of the boat estimated it to be 3-4 metres in length, at a depth of about 20 metres, while the boat was in the water about 40 metres deep."
