A huge creature resembling the Loch Ness Monster has been spotted in the Bristol Channel.
The water-based beast, which is usually said to reside in Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, has supposedly been seen in the West Country estuary.
Seeing as Loch Ness feeds into the sea at Fort William and Inverness, there are speculations that the well-known animal has taken a trip south.
Jacky Sheppard was enjoying a meal at The Little Harp pub in Clevedon, Somerset with her husband when she saw the 'serpent' shape in the water.

The monster, also known as 'Nessie', is traditionally recognised as being very large and possessing a long neck as well as one or more humps on its back, sticking out from the water.
Jacky said the beast was "motoring along the sea from the direction of the Pier towards the Marine Lake".
The onlooker explained that the table next to her also saw what they thought was Nessie and hoped they would back her up in a post in the Hello Clevedon Facebook group.
In the post, Jacky included a cartoon drawing of the sea creature with a misty background and wrote: 'Any ideas anyone? Polite ones only please!'

One Facebook user, Susan Cawley, commented that it was "Nessie on her holidays".
James Hall joked: "What were you drinking in the harp, I want some lol."
To which Jacky replied: "Sadly soda and lime, I was the driver!"

Another member of the group, Steve Jones, suggested what Jacky saw was a "seal on steroids".
Derek Perham didn't think the sighting was even alive.
He said: "Depending on the tide there is quite often large lumps of driftwood, including large branches and tree trunks that float past our seafront.
"Admittedly they always seem rather sinister."
