Irish hospital clerk Eoin O’Faodhagain, 55, claims to have seen Scotland’s mythical creature yesterday morning in Urquhart Bay.
The footage is Eoin’s second ‘confirmed’ sighting after he also claims to have recorded it in January – as well as four times last year.
In the video a small white shape is seen to rise out of the water float on the surface for a few seconds.
The shape is seen just to the right of the tree in the middle of the footage.
Eoin said: ‘Well to be quite honest, I thought Nessie had gone into quarantine, as for the past nearly three months I did not get a glimpse of her.
‘I thought my luck was bound to run out sometime and I thought this was the time until this morning, and to my great surprise Nessie came up out of the depths to say hello.
Eoin O’Faodhagain of Drumdoit, Co Donegal, successfully ‘spotted’ Nessie four times last year and has made both confirmed ‘sightings’ in 2020
‘It was three to four feet out of the water at its highest but mainly low to the water for most of it.
‘Putting up a wash of white water as it moved to see it at that range, it would have to be at least ten feet long.
‘As you can see from the video there are no boats present before the object appeared out through the surface water.
‘Loch Ness at the moment is like a ghost lake there is no activity of any sort out on the lake these days due to the present circumstances.
‘It’s exhilarating to get another sighting especially when it’s the second one on record this year, back to back.’
The claimed sighting was recorded from footage on the Loch Ness Live Cam.
Eoin reported his most recent sighting to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register who confirmed the sighting.

Speaking in January, Eoin, of Drumdoit, Co Donegal, said: It’s great to get the very first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster for the decade. There has been a lot of speculation that this creature is migratory in nature.
‘Well I think a sighting on the 18th of January disproves this theory.
‘Nessie in my opinion goes no further than the Loch itself.’
There were 18 confirmed sightings of the monster last year, making it the busiest year for claimed sightings since the peak of Nessie-mania in 1983.
Last September, researchers from New Zealand claimed that the Loch Ness Monster could be a large eel, extracting DNA from water samples to test for this.
Research carried out in 2018 revealed that the mythical creature is worth £41 million a year to the Scottish economy.
